This course examines the role of rhetoric in discussions surrounding political inactivity as well as the burgeoning activism of today. Students will be given the opportunity to research a topic pertaining to rhetoric and activism. Some possible research topics include: an investigation into why a particular movement (like Occupy Wall Street) fades away without substantive impact, how/why activist efforts are sometimes cyclical across time (civil rights or Women¿s rights), differing theoretical approaches to activism or perhaps the relationship between activism, policy, and the implementation of new laws.

PWR 2ST: Writing & Rhetoric 2: Science, Democracy and Social Media
Prerequisite:
PWR 1. Social media have greatly enlivened and democratized science communication so that it now moves between scientists and various audiences. Scientific content is no longer static, nor is it merely for advanced researchers. Scientists using social media are learning to assess content collaboratively to help provide better science in public communication. One of the particular obligations of university science students is to join the conversation, help review and revise content in the public sphere. Students in this course will actively engage in the evolving world of science communication and practice their scientific writing, research and oral presentation skills. For more information about
