ENG 622 - Topics In Historical And Contemporary Rhetoric


Description: This course explores the long-standing foundation on which the contemporary discipline of rhetoric and writing studies is built.

Today we study private and public discourse, social movements, and mediated discourse, which includes the study of visual and nonverbal elements. Letter grade only.
