Rhetoric is the art of persuasion. Rhetoric impacts our daily lives by influencing how we think about and respond to things. It pervades our political world, work environments, civic and social settings, and pop culture. Students will learn a variety of approaches to rhetorical criticism (theoretical and methodological) that enable them to critically analyze the messages that surround us. We will also unpack the ways rhetoric undergirds or undermines existing power structures, and how it might reshape them.
