WRTG 3800 - Social Histories of Power and the Rhetoric of the Everyday

This course explores and seeks to make obvious and unsettle the settled ways power and institutions work in tandem. By exposing students to diverse perspectives and lived experiences—and examining how they intersect with institutional and the historical forces of power, students are encouraged to examine their own locationality, positionality, and subjectivity as it is enacted through rhetoric and in relation to access and inclusion, diversity and equity, and the distribution of power.
