Abstract
The author argues that the college reading and learning community needs to widen and deepen its conversation with more groups than just those that focus on the at-risk student. These efforts will bring richer scholarship, research, and practice; a larger support base at all levels of academic politics; and knowledge in creating doctoral programs in college learning. College composition is one community that lends itself to these ends. The author outlines the history of college composition, describes its large number of journals and associations, explains genre theory—a pertinent area of scholarship and practice, raises professional issues from college composition, and gives recommendations for consideration.
