Asian/Asian American Caucus

The mission of the Asian/Asian American Caucus is to support composition scholarship by and/or about Asians and Asian Americans.  As a community that values research, pedagogy, and mentorship, we work to

  1. increase the representation of Asian and Asian American scholars in composition studies; and
  2. advance scholarship on Asian and Asian American rhetorics, literacy practices, and second language acquisition issues.

The Asian/Asian American Caucus invites all to join this community of members who support one another on scholarship by and/or about Asian and Asian American language practices, rhetorics, and literacy education.

Caucus Videos

The videos below were developed through a project titled, Writing and Working for Change: A Digital Archive of Social Activism by Teachers of NCTE/CCCC. These videos serve as one of many ways to preserve and expand access to records documenting the collective work of English teachers and as a way of supporting NCTE’s commitment to social justice and equality.
