This Companion is imagined as a space for those members whose proposals were accepted for presentation at the 2024 CCCC Annual Convention but who were unable to attend. These are contributions that enrich the intellectual work of the in-person Convention that would have otherwise been excluded.

The works in this volume represent the beginning of a response to the realities of multiple access and engagement needs of our members. The volume accounts for what our profession and CCCC must continue to grapple with: access and full participation in the knowledge exchange and professional development enjoyed by our most privileged members for our most marginalized members.
