PWR 2RL: Writing & Rhetoric 2: The Rhetoric of the Natural and Beyond
This class will consider, through a rhetorical lens, how "natural" is understood and/or modified: how it interfaces with social norms and other notions like safety and authenticity, and how the varying rhetorical strategies and situations at hand animate different negotiations of power. Topics may range from literary (e.g. magic realism and the fantastic) to social (our growing proximity and intimacy with tech devices) to medical (homeopathy or bionic implants and prosthesis).

PWR 2SC: Writing & Rhetoric 2: Are We There Yet?: The Rhetoric of Mobility
What is the difference between "refugee" and "migrant" or, for that matter, between "traveler," "immigrant," "tourist," and "alien"? When we begin to think about the politics of these categories, we start to see how rhetorical situations shape our understandings of our places in the world, and what constrains or enables us as we move around in it. In this class, we will explore questions about mobility through writing, research, and oral presentation. We will practice strategies for persuasive, engaging writing and speaking and watch speeches by activists and artists, read up on the history of ¿mobs,¿ and discuss whether a sit-in is actually a form of movement.
