Research Contributions

While Villanueva's scholarship has contributed widely across rhetoric, composition, and writing studies. some of his most most influential work has been in the often-intersecting area of rhetoric, racism, and literacy. His book Bootstraps: From an American Academic of Color, which won the NCTE David H Russell Award for Distinguish Research in the Teaching of English and the Conference on English Education (CEE) Richard Meade Award for Research in English Education, ^[4] explored problems related to race, marginalization, and identity within U.S. literacy education through the telling of his own autobiography as a Puerto Rican negotiating the American public school system. Villanueva is also well-known for his work on the edited collection Cross-Talk in Comp Theory: A Reader, which was one of the first and most widely used books on composition (writing) theory. ^[5] Another theme in Villanueva's later work was the rhetoric of memory, especially in conjunction with identity.^[6]
