Course Description:
What does it mean to conduct research within the field of rhetoric? How do
rhetoricians discover and analyze the persuasive potential of various
situations? In this course, we answer these questions by exploring the
disciplinary methods used to create knowledge about rhetoric, particularly
how it shapes and is shaped by social, cultural, and digital landscapes. Since
rhetoric, at its core, is about changing the world via persuasion, we apply
these critical research methods to questions of power, identity, and equity by
investigating rhetoric's formative role in discourses on civil rights, disability,
race, sexuality, etc. Students will take away not only a fundamental
understanding of rhetoric's methodologies, but also the skills needed to
persuasively intervene in social, cultural, and political issues affecting
campus, Hartford, and beyond. |
