Rhetorics that Matter: Personal, Public, Political

Catalog description

This course supports students in contributing to public discourse that surrounds identities, causes, and topics of personal significance. Building on the knowledges and skills developed in ENGL 1001 , students will develop public composing projects that demonstrate sophisticated rhetorical strategies, sensitivity to genre, and understanding of rhetorical ecologies beyond classroom walls. An intersectional lens is used throughout the course, with attention paid to how personal identity, community, and discourse intersect to create cultural marginalization and privilege.
