About JAC

JAC provides a forum for scholars interested in theoretical approaches to the interdisciplinary study of rhetoric, writing, culture, and politics. We publish four book-length issues a year, featuring articles, interviews, essays, review essays, and reviews. The journal is peer-reviewed and sponsors four annual awards for outstanding scholarship. JAC receives generous financial support from Illinois State University. Twenty-six years ago when the journal was founded, JAC was an acronym for the "Journal of Advanced Composition," and it featured the best theoretical scholarship on a variety of topics related to “advanced writing” (all writing above the first-year level). The scope of what the journal publishes has expanded over the years as the interdisciplinary field of rhetoric and writing studies has grown and matured. Today JAC is a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry into rhetoric, writing, culture, and politics, and the journal is now simply known as "J-A-C." See the JAC History page for more information about the journal's past. JAC Staff
