Fleitz Editor’s Welcome Jen Wingard There has never been a better time to review for, publish in, or edit Peitho! Not only is the Coalition for Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric and Composition celebrating its thirtieth year as a significant feminist organization in our field.1 Not only is the journal about to embark on a quarterly production schedule. Not only have we developed a new section devoted to cultivating and sharing archives, which will appear in at least one issue of Peitho a year.2 And not only are we about to publish a series of excellent and timely special issues over the next three summers–the first in 2019 on the Legacy of Our Bodies Ourselves; the second in 2020 on Transgender Rhetorics3; and the third a co-produced issue with Constellations on the intersections between femi- nism and cultural rhetorics! But the real reason to become involved with Peitho is because some of the best feminist scholarship in the field of rhetoric and composition is being published here. And issue 21.2 is a clear example of that excellence. This will be the last mega-issue of Peitho. Our move to quarterly produc- tion will allow for fewer essays per issue, and potentially more focused clus- ters of essays. In fact, there will be a cluster on the centennial of women’s suf- frage in 2020, so look for a CFP sometime in late summer 2019. Our move to quarterly will also see Peitho move to a digital native journal. This allows us to support fully multimodal and interactive texts in the journal. This is something we are all excited to embrace beginning with our Fall 2019 issue. All of this news is to say that as Peitho continues to grow, please continue to read and submit your work here. It is an exciting journal with a long histo- ry of feminist commitment and scholarly support in the field of rhetoric and 1 http://cwshrc.org/blog/2018/09/01/re-examining-intersectionality/ 2 http://peitho.cwshrc.org/news/ call-for-submissions-new-peitho-feature-recoveries-and-reconsiderations/ 3 http://peitho.cwshrc.org/news/ call-for-papers-transgender-rhetorics/ Peitho Journal: Vol. 21.2, 2019 vi Jen Wingard composition. And it is certainly continuing to be a thriving place for intellectual work. And this current issue is no exception. It is chock-full of feminist goodness, the likes of which would even put a smile on Lisa Mastrangelo’s bad-ass grand- mother’s face which adorns our cover. (Thank you, Lisa, for the use of your family photo.) And the work covers a rich array of feminist topics: gendered service and raced mentorship; archival methods engaging with new technol- ogies; digital spaces as potentially emancipatory; and historical figures and literary texts as embodied. We also have a slate of five book reviews of current feminist work. The entire issue is well worth a read. So with that, I invite you to enjoy 21.2, the Spring 2019 issue of Peitho. And remember as you attend the CCCCs in Pittsburgh to visit us at the Editor’s Roundtable during the Research Network Forum. I’d love to hear your ideas for essays, special clusters, or archives you’d like to share. Also be sure to check out the terrific feminist panels aggregated by the Coalition of Feminist Scholars, too.4 It is an exciting time to be a feminist in our field, and it is an equally exciting time to think about what it means to be a feminist in our field. The folks publishing in Peitho are certainly taking that question seriously, and I thank them for it. 4 http://cwshrc.org/blog/2019/03/01/coalition-curated-guide-to-4c19/ Peitho Journal: Vol. 21.2, 2019 Special Cluster on Gendered Service in Rhetoric and Writing Studies: I. Transforming the Value of Gendered Service through Institutional Culture Change Jennifer Heinert and Cassandra Phillips Abstract: Using the lens of feminized labor, we argue that the ways in which the academy defines success are misaligned with the service that is required to fulfill the mission of our institutions and meet the learning needs of students. Those who perform feminized labor and service, particularly in Composition, are at a disad- vantage in every way “success” is measured in the academy (teaching, professional development, and service). Transforming how feminized labor is valued involves reexamining institutional missions and then redefining service, research, workload, and expertise in a way that aligns labor with institutional values. This process in- cludes a) redefining and assessing labor and workload in terms of how it supports the institutional mission; b) defining and assessing professional development as work that supports the institutional mission; and c) valuing, supporting, and devel- oping the expertise that is required for sustaining the labor of institutions. Keywords: Feminized labor, service, gender, composition Every month, there is another career advice piece on “how to succeed” in higher education that makes the rounds on social media. These pieces often tell overcommitted faculty that the path to success involves learning to say no: Chronicle blogger Natalie M. Houston offers specific advice about how and when to say no in “Five Guidelines for Saying No” and “Should You Say Yes or No?” Likewise, in “To Find Happiness in Academe, Women Should Just Say No,” Rena Seltzer defines a “strong research profile” as the “prize” for increased happiness in academia (see also Wilson). A refrain of these pieces is “beware of service commitments.” Especially for women faculty, service is painted as an adversary to success and promotion. These advice articles highlight the service paradox of labor in higher education. On the one hand, it is clear from data about labor and the profession (see Massé and Hogan, Modern Language Association) that service commitments are holding women back Peitho Journal: Vol.
