The oldest independent periodical in the field, Composition Studies publishes original articles relevant to rhetoric and composition, including those that address teaching college writing; theorizing rhetoric and composing; administering writing programs; and, among other topics, preparing the field’s future teacher-scholars. All perspectives and topics of general interest to the profession are welcome. We also publish Course Designs, which contextualize, theorize, and reflect on the content and pedagogy of a course.CONTENTS OF COMPOSITION STUDIES 45.2 (Fall 2017) | From the Editor | ARTICLES: “Multilingualizing” Composition: A Diary Self-Study of Learning Spanish and Chinese by Carol Severino | The Symbolic Life of the Moleskine Notebook: Material Goods as a Tableau for Writing Identity Performance by Cydney Alexis | Writing By the Book, Writing Beyond the Book by Kristine Johnson | Bodies in Composition: Teaching Writing through Kinesthetic Performance by Janine Butler | Valuing Writers from a Neurodiversity Perspective: Integrating New Research on Autism Spectrum Disorder into Composition Pedagogy by Elizabeth Tomlinson and Sara Newman | Forget Formulas: Teaching Form through Function in Slow Writing and Reading as a Writer by Michelle Tremmel| The Linguistic Memory of Composition and and the Rhetoric and Composition PhD: Forgetting (and Remembering) Language and Language Difference in Doctoral Curricula by Carrie Byars Kilfoil | COURSE DESIGNS: Taco Literacy: Public Advocacy and Mexican Food in the U.S. Nuevo South by Steven Alvarez | Stretch and Studio Composition Practicum: Creating a Culture of Support and Success for Developing Writers at a Hispanic-Serving Institution by Cristyn L.
