This class will examine the role of rhetoric in movements for social change in contemporary society. Students will investigate different social movements and issues relating to the movements: their history, context, leaders, strategies (including new communication technologies), resistance, and most importantly their rhetorical elements. Students will analyze these variables to understand the rhetorical messages relating to particular movements, e.g. MeToo, BlackLivesMatter, environmental movements, and more.
