COMS 8330 - Feminist Rhetorical Theory

This course will begin with an examination of what it means to ‘write women into the history of rhetoric’. This examination will provide the backdrop for an initial historiographical approach to women’s contributions to rhetorical theory. Beyond this initial focus, the course will examine recent developments in feminist theory that impinge on or work from an understanding of rhetoric. As such, the course cuts across both historical and theoretical boundaries mapping the space for a feminist rhetoric.
