Synopsis

Advancing feminist rhetorical methods for social change

In a world marked by political polarization and racial, sexist, ableist, and class-based injustices, feminist rhetorical research is vital to ongoing struggles for social justice―in communities, in digital spaces, and in classrooms. Rhetorica Rising introduces a range of feminist rhetorical methods and methodologies that can help us understand social justice movements, past and present.

The collection highlights how the field of rhetorical studies has evolved over the past decade, taking up the challenge of creating intersectional feminist scholarship that engages with BlPOC histories and rhetorics, decolonial rhetorics, digital studies, disability studies, queer studies, transnational studies, and discourses regarding reproductive justice.

Includes essays by: Rachel Bloom-Pojar, Christina V. Cedillo, Sarah Madoka Currie, Jessica Enoch, Tarez Samra Graban, Michael Healy, Ada Hubrig, Curtis J. Jewell, Stephanie Jones, Danielle Koepke, Rachel Lewis, Abigail H. Long, Andrea Riley Mukavetz, Timothy Oleksiak, K.J. Rawson, Jessica Restaino, Nelesi Rodrigues, Eileen E. Schell, Megan Schoettler, Sidney Turner, Gabriella Wilson, Carly S. Woods
