We're pleased to announce that SLAT doctoral candidate Wei Xu is a recipient of the Conference on College Composition and Communication's Scholars for the Dream Travel Award. The Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) is a constituent organization within the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
CCCC sponsors the Scholars for the Dream Awards to encourage scholarship by historically underrepresented groups. This includes Black, Latinx, Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander scholars—persons whose presence and whose contributions are central to the full realization of our professional goals.
CCCC supports scholars’ participation in the CCCC Annual Convention and sponsors a reception for all award winners. The Awards Selection Committee considers originality of research, significance of pedagogical or theoretical contributions to the field, and potential for larger, subsequent projects.
Wei will be announced as a recipient of the CCCC Scholars for the Dream Travel Award on Friday, April 5, during the 2024 CCCC Annual Convention in Spokane, Washington.
