Studies highlight how writing programs from first-year composition programs to undergraduate and graduate programs in rhetoric and composition are ecologies, in that they grow out of and interact with surrounding environment of writers and written works. They cover the contested ecologies of first-year composition programs: negotiating between stability and change, remapping interdisciplinary ecologies: writing across the curriculum and writing in the disciplines programs, claiming disciplinary locations: the undergraduate major in rhetoric and composition, interconnected sites of agency: situating assessment within institutional ecologies, and third spaces: creating liminal ecologies.
