Composing Other Spaces offers deep descriptions of composition theory and practice, documenting ways the politics of place inflect key concepts in the field and exploring the intersections among composition's real and imagined geographies. Contributions to this volume write come from across America, from regional institutions and open-admissions branch campuses and 'flagship' public universities. These essays take place in traditional classrooms and writing studios, dormitories, 'smart classrooms', country diners, cemeteries, creek banks, and stairwells. And they examine complicated spaces of race, disability, class, and gender, dystopia and utopia, to name a few. How do these places and spaces shape or constrain the conflicts, challenges, and opportunities of this work? What new tactics for writing and the teaching of writing are required to adequately account for and engage with the complexities of composition's spaces and places?
