2025 CCCC Richard Braddock Award

We are thrilled to share that Professor Michelle Petty has won the 2025 CCCC Richard Braddock Awards, the top article award in our discipline, for, “Black Linguistic Justice from Theory to Practice,” published in the June 2024 issue of College Composition and Communication and co-authored with Hannah Franz, Angela Rowell, Marie Tano, Sierra J. Johnson, and Anne Charity Hudley.

The award letter praised the article, "Franz et al.’s work models how writing instructors can live out their commitment to helping students make informed choices in their writing, how writing researchers can meaningfully collaborate with a range of constituents, and how researchers can keep the student populations they hope to benefit at the heart of their work by including them as co-researchers. We can think of no better representation of what we hope work in writing studies might do."
