Gere, Anne Ruggles. “Kitchen Tables and Rented Rooms: The Extracurriculum of Composition.” College Composition and Communication 45 (1994): 75-92.

Ann Ruggles Gere suggests that we pay more attention to the “extracurrixculum” of writing and writing pedagogy happening all over the place. One way that we can pay attention to this is by looking at the way that students bring ‘extra’ work to the WC like stories, poems, etc. An over reliance on professionalism has driven us to consider only what happens in academia or in our own classrooms as being part of composition, but we need to recognize these other spaces as well.
