The Writing Process - Research on Composing
I’m thrilled to share that Kairos has awarded Writing Commons the John Lovas Award for digital scholarship at the Computers & Composition Conference (on 6/24/2023).
Every year Kairos awards the John Lovas Award to a person or project that engages in sustained engagement with topics in rhetoric, composition, or computers and writing. This honor is given to an individual or project that displays an active and consistent engagement with research and scholarship in rhetoric, composition, and computers and writing. It is awarded to authors and projects that explore the rhetoricity of new writing tools and epitomize public intellectualism, as John Lovas did with his blogging and digital scholarship.
Writing Commons is an experiment in authorship, peer-production, collaboration, community, and digital publishing. Over the last past twenty years, we have published over 200 peer-reviewed articles. Most of these works are published under a Creative Commons copyright license. The editorial process is managed by our Co-Editors-in-Chief:
Cassandra Branham, Associate Professor, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Megan McIntyre, Director of Rhetoric, University of Arkansas.
I thank Cheryl Ball and Douglas Eyman for their amazing work on Kairos and ongoing invisible work sustaining the computers and composition community. I thank Kristi McDuffie, Chair of the Awards Committee and our peer reviewers.
I thank my colleagues and coauthors at Writing Commons, especially Cassandra Branham; Megan McIntyre; Quentin Vieregge; Jenifer D'Elia Paquette; Angela Eward-Mangione; Jennifer Jencheck; Kendra Bryant; Christine Photinos;
