Feminist Rhetorics

Catalog description

What does it mean to read the world through a feminist rhetorical lens? What happens when we consider texts, language, human interaction, and communities and systems using feminist rhetorical perspectives? This course begins by exploring these inquiries and aims to expose students to the varied perspectives, practices, theories, and subtopics related to Feminist Rhetorics, a subfield of Rhetoric & Composition. Through course projects, students will write for different audiences and purposes while gaining an understanding of feminist rhetorics, including methods for examining everyday rhetorical situations. Students will compose in various genres and collaborate with peers on a regular basis.
