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, 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. Another theme in Villanueva's later work was the rhetoric of memory, especially in conjunction with identity.
