Community Literacy and Public Rhetoric in the Archives
Course Description
Introduces students to frameworks for conducting archival research in writing and communication studies and focuses specifically on how communities are sustained through acts of literacy and rhetoric. On-campus archives serve as a preliminary research venue for students to practice analyzing primary sources using concepts from rhetorical theory. Then, shifting to the archives of a local community organization, students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with locating sources and considering their practical and ethical roles as researchers in (re)constructing the past.
