Pedagogy: Critical Approaches to Teaching Literature, Language, Composition, and Culture

This article presents a new examination of the history of the first-year composition requirement using the “adaptive cycle” idea about the resilience of systems. The author argues that we may be experiencing the collapse of required FYC and should look to other possible futures of college writing.
