As the future of the WPA Listserv (WPA-L) remains uncertain, this article reflects on the ways the WPA-L has functioned as an important site of disciplinary knowledge-making and emotion work for the field of composition studies. It examines the potential of the listserv format for democratizing participation in the enterprise of disciplinary knowledge-making and examines how perspectives and lifeworlds of a diverse field have come into contact on the platform. Such a dynamic showcases tensions, ongoing dialogue, and emotionally felt perspectives not often visible in (or sometimes erased from) traditional sites of scholarly publication.
