Writing & Rhetoric 1: Who Speaks for the Past: The Rhetoric of Public Memory

Catalog description

PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. Public memory (markers and celebrations of history in public venues) has been expanded and revised to be more inclusive, democratic, and accurate. In this course we discuss many forms of public memory that contribute to narratives about the past. We'll consider arguments for and against rewriting public history.
