Overview

Recollections from Our Common Places is a collection of narratives authored by Documentarians at the CCCC Conventions (both virtual and in person) in 2021, 2022, and 2023. This collection is the second volume of Documentarian Tales; the first collection, Recollections from an Uncommon Time: 4C20 Documentarian Tales, was conceived to be a product of the new Documentarians role at the 2020 Convention in Milwaukee. With the cancellation of the 2020 conference due to COVID, the Documentarian idea became a means for CCCC members to share a common experience at a most unusual time. As with the 2020 collection, the Tales in Recollections from Our Common Places began as responses to Documentarian daily surveys. Taken together, they narrate authors' experiences on the days of the CCCC Convention in 2021, 2022, and 2023, foregrounding contrasts and commonalities between virtual and in-person conferences, and addressing such themes and issues as professional growth and belonging, forms of participation, the professional life of the field, accessibility, and work-life balance. The essays in this collection resonate with the themes surfaced in the 2020 collection and introduce new provocations about the terms of our work in writing studies, and the changing landscape of our disciplinary participation, particularly in light of educational shifts occasioned by responses to COVID.
