Cultural Rhetoric Colloquium

The Cultural Rhetoric Colloquium (CRC) is a new initiative of the Department of Rhetoric and Writing. The purpose of the colloquium is to present research on writing and rhetoric that engages issues of identity, culture, and power as they occur in social, historical, economic, cultural, and political contexts. This purpose allows for exploration of a diversity of literacy and rhetorical traditions, and how those traditions enrich writing and rhetoric historically, theoretically, and pedagogically.

Each year the colloquium will focus on one theme. For the year 2011-2012, the theme is "Theory in the Flesh": Rhetoric, Race, Gender and Sexuality."
