To have any prayer of success, we’ll need . . . a philosophy of language and literacy that affirms the diverse sources of linguistic competence and deepens our understanding of the ways class and culture blind us to the richness of those sources.  \n—Mike Rose, Lives on the Boundary, 238  \nIn the fifty-some years that Composition Studies [formerly Freshman Eng  \nlish News] has been mapping our field, much attention has been given to so-called minoritized writers.1 The initial analysis of minoritized writers in Freshman English News, for instance, was almost entirely framed by the construct of remediation—by what we teachers could do for “those” students. In her 1972 “Lessons from Experience: Teaching Minority Students,” Susan Koprowski writes,  \nThe difference in teaching a remedial Freshman English course to educationally deprived white students and teaching the same material to Black and Chicano students may be calculated in terms of a single problem—attitude. Minority students can make the white instructor feel defensive, paralyzed by insecurity in dealing with what may be a fundamentally hostile class. (4)  \nThe following year, William D. Lutz echoed Koprowski, framing the composition course as one of “survival” for minoritized students “because of the additional problems of culture and language differences”(4) . Of course, both scholars were writing in response to the nationwide open-enrollment movement of the early 1970s, most famously researched by Mina Shaughnessy, whose 1977 Errors and Expectations: A Guide for the Teachers of Basic Writing heralded a new look at the status of so-called Basic Writers, most of whom, according to Shaughnessy, grew up in “one of New York’s racial or ethnic enclaves” (3) .2 Since its publication, Errors and Expectations has been heavily critiqued, leading to more linguistically aware research that supports students’ right to their own language (Baker-Bell; Canagarajah; Clark and Ivanic; Elbow; Gilyard; Horner and Lu; Inoue and Poe; Kynard; Lippi-Green; Milson-Whyte et al.; Paris; Perryman-Clark et al.; Rose; Richardson; Ruiz;  \nSmitherman, and many others) . Yet despite our field’s awareness of language Composition Studies 50.1 (2022): 127–134  \nvarieties and prejudice, Black and Latinx students continue to populate our professional imaginary as Basic Writers or as needing to be flagged in first year writing courses on the basis of “the skin that they speak” (Delpit) . In short, as Jacqueline Jones Royster and Jean C. Williams so insightfully emphasized, our discipline has conflated students of color with basic writing, to position them as “non-universal outsiders” and “aliens to the traditions which other students lay claim”(569) .  \nSuch a perspective reflects the staying power of racism and whiteliness rather than any so-called student need(s) . Renewing our field’s commitment to minoritized students requires sustained attention—not to any perceived deficits on their part—but to the specific ways minoritized students are challenging this longstanding deficit model (and concomitant racism) to enact their writerly agency and thereby successfully pursue their own writing goals.  \nThe Covid-19 Exigence  \nComposition scholars should . . . strive to create pedagogies that . . . take . . . exclusionary practices into consideration.  \n—Iris Ruiz, Reclaiming Composition for Chicano/as and Other Ethnic  \nMinorities, 143  \nAcademe is at the tipping point with regard to an authentic commitment to—and understanding of—minoritized undergraduates, starting during their first year. In addition to being flagged in their writing classes as needing correction and help, these students also regularly face other microaggressions (from peers and instructors alike), experience cultural isolation, ","cbCailQdKcDazskK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailQdKcDazskK","pdf",109430,"English","# Renewing Commitments to Minoritized Writers\n## Covid-19 Exigence\n## Strategic Enactments of Writerly Agency as Excellence and Activism","[{\"question\":\"How has composition studies historically characterized minoritized writers?\",\"answer\":\"It has often framed minoritized writers through remediation or survival narratives, positioning students of color as needing correction and support rather than as language users with agency.\"},{\"question\":\"What major challenges did Covid-19 intensify for Black and Latinx students?\",\"answer\":\"The text links the pandemic to enrollment declines, educational inequities, remote-learning problems, and barriers such as internet connectivity issues, alongside ongoing microaggressions and cultural isolation.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the proposed shift in teacherly commitment?\",\"answer\":\"The document calls for sustained attention to how minoritized students challenge deficit models to enact writerly agency and pursue their own writing goals.\"}]","Renewing Commitments to Minoritized Writers - Ray Rosas and Cheryl Glenn | PDF",1792088651]
