Computers and Composition

Reflecting on the past paves the way to a successful future!

Situated in the field of digital rhetoric, Computers and Composition builds a scholarly foundation  on the relationships between literary writing tools and modern technology. Computers and Composition is a relevant and timely course  addressing our evolving educational ecological landscape. As AI has been thrust into higher education, leaving a conglomerate of educators scattered in its wake. Computers and Composition explores the process of historicization through the lens of literary artifacts, historically and socially situating them alongside modern technologies. We recognize cyclical patterns in "new" writing technologies and literacy with digital systems, interfaces, algorithms, and computer code. Methodologically, viewing how culture, power, and identity work together like a cog in a machine. Revisiting important moments in history from a computational perspective on how rhetoric and composition have always adapted to the culture, shifting, and changing with these inventions, and how we shape the work we do as scholars and educators today. From the individual to the collective, educators can rely on digital rhetoric to lay a solid framework toward developing a communal and civil practice on literacies that leads todays scholars on the path of success in life.
