Description
The Gloria Anzaldúa Rhetorician Award, sponsored by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), honors the legacy of Gloria Anzaldúa by supporting scholars whose research explores sexual and gender minority experiences through rhetoric, composition, and queer theory. The award recognizes projects that interrogate the intersections of writing, identity, and social justice, aiming to foster cultural transformation and dismantle systems of privilege through the act of writing. Up to three recipients are selected annually for their originality, critical engagement, and potential for lasting impact in the field.
