New Course for Fall 2016!
What Can Rhetoric Teach Us About the 2016 U.S.
Presidential Election?
Professor Scot Barnett
In this course we will explore how concepts from rhetoric can help us understand the 2016 Presidential Election. Although the word “rhetoric” sometimes refers to empty or deceptive speech, for centuries rhetoric was a highly respected course of study that taught speakers and writers how to communicate effectively on multiple topics and in various situations. In this course, then, we will move back and forth between classical understandings of rhetoric and the current presidential campaign. Along with websites, speeches, and articles on the presidential campaign, we will read primary and secondary texts in classical rhetoric, scholarly articles on presidential rhetoric, and past examples of presidential speeches and debates.
