Call for Papers

Convergence/Rhetoric is an online, peer-reviewed student journal showcasing upper-division undergraduate writing.

We encourage submission of individual or group projects related to writing studies that help us think about . . .
. . . how written communications are used in our world;
. . . how the concept of literacy is multifaceted;
. . . how writing shapes individual and group identities; or
. . . how topics as diverse as social media memes, music artists, and the rules of grammar can serve as rhetorical objects of study.

Types of projects include, but are not limited to: print genres (such as research projects or argumentative essays) and digital or multimodal genres (e.g., websites, graphic arguments, infographics, learning games, and videos).
