C.C. Hendricks, PhD (she/her/hers)

Pinch me…I have a piece published with @MsMagazine digital on preparing students to teach amid anti-DEI legislative attacks on public education. Such an honor and a pleasure working with them! msmagazine.com/2023/09/19/new…

Received confirmation from the printer that I’ll have proofs of my book for indexing next month!! Out from Routledge this summer!! #itsactuallyhappening #writerslife #highered #momademia

I did campus visits just a few months post partum, and the only thing that got me through the lonely nights in hotel rooms, with sore breasts and sobbing from missing my baby was watching Schitts Creek, #CatherineOHaraRip #toogoodforthisworld

AI-generated rubrics are bs! If you need help designing a rubric for your own assignment, rewrite the assignment, or #novelidea: do the research and labor you’re asking students to do! #highered #WPAlife #academia #academicmom

The increasing trend of letting college students already struggling with low GPAs take more and more credit hours is predatory! Student success, well being = retention! #highered #academicmom #wpalife

With gratitude, we’re sunsetting this account 💜 While our past posts will remain here, we won’t be posting new content on X. Guided by our feminist values, we’re cultivating community on Bluesky: @cfshrc.bsky.social ✨

Can’t help but imagine what could be if we could channel the outrage over Cracker Barrel and the excitement over Taylor Swift’s engagement towards real social change! #ifonly

My new least favorite question: how are you handling your stress? Not well. #selfcareisaprivilege #academicmom #highered

Leaving #FemRhet2025 today, I’m full of ideas and excitement as I finish this book! The scholars I met, the encouragement I received…there really aren’t words! Thanks SO much to all the organizers and attendees. Already looking forward to #FemRhet2027 !!

@kmaclea Good for you! We should talk soon.

@cc_hendricks Have resigned from one and soon more. It’s time!

It’s official, I resigned from my admin position…commiserating with #academics who are being asked to do more and more with less #academia #highered #WPAlife #sayingnoisafeministpractice

Great morning at #FemRhet2025 so far! #thefeministsarecoming

This week we will be amplifying special sessions, events, and reminders across social media and we'd love to share yours too! Use #FemRhet2025 or tag us on our channels!

The tenured faculty who failed to organize on behalf of their untenured colleagues twenty years ago and allowed a managerial takeover of the university so long as their own privileges were maintained have only themselves to blame for this chronicle.com/article/a-4-4-…

Announcing Peitho’s Special Summer 2026 Issue #CFP: Academia in Crisis: How Feminist Rhetorical Scholars Respond. E Proposals (500 words) are due August 1, 2025. Please see the full CFP at tinyurl.com/AcademiaInCris…. #TeamRhetoric #RhetComp #AcademicChatter

agenda-less meetings feel like acts of psychological warfare #academia #wpalife #highered

Writing a book really is just a constant oscillation between feeling like you’ve got something good here and like everything you’re doing is shit #awriterslife #academia

Great time presenting at and attending #4C25! It does feel like it might be time for the field to reconsider the old-guard, pay-to-play conference format for something that better highlights new scholars’ work and makes more room for critical dialogue and real-time collaboration

The access for this opening session is WILD. I have to use a mobility scooter at big events like these, and the only way for me to get into the main room was to take an elevator backstage. I then had to scoot out next to the stage, in front of everyone. I nearly left. #4C25

SO excited to be in Baltimore for #cccc25 to present with some of my favorite women on forming, archiving, and sustaining feminist writing groups!

Budget cuts shouldn’t be a pretense for disregarding faculty governance #highered #academia
