Rhetoric

Students are introduced to a range of frameworks useful for composing and interpreting texts, which can range from classical concerns such as logos, pathos, ethos, and kairos to contemporary concerns such as agency, signification, and textuality. Through readings and projects, students analyze and experience ways texts may be produced by and function within communities, in various genres and media. This course focuses on intersections of theory and practice. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 1102 or ENGL 1102H, with a minimum grade of C.
