2019 Applied Rhetoric Symposium - Proposal Submissions
We seek presentations about the practice, pedagogy, and research of applied rhetoric. Theory from all corners of the rhetorical world is welcome: critical, digital, feminist, material, medical, multimodal, queer, scientific, spatial, textual, visual, and more. The Applied Rhetoric Collaborative is a living example of Bakhtin’s idea of heteroglossia: a diversity of voices, perspectives, and interests. The thread that unites us is a theoretical frame on rhetoric and an interest in applying it to contemporary problems and projects.
 
We encourage presentations of all types, but ARC is specifically interested in:
 
Actions: Reporting on activities that use rhetoric to be a force for good in the world. Explaining what you did, how you did it, and how others could follow your lead.
 
Practices: Reporting on a document or product from an action out in the world. Explaining a document/product in its context, explaining what it is, how it came to be, and how it can be used/modified by others for similar work.
 
Ideas: Sharing an in-progress work. Celebrating in-process research on applied rhetoric, both on action and documents/products.
 
Structures: Explaining how to go about a type of project for someone who might be interested in doing so themselves

Pedagogies: Explaining a pedagogical project related to public-facing rhetorical action.
 
Theory: Traditional research talks/panels on civic, public, and local rhetorical issues or projects.
 
Digital Presentations (March 28, 2019)

We also will be accepting digital presentations for the Applied Rhetoric Symposium. The symposium will have a pre-symposium on March 28, 2019, at 5:00 EST that consists of three panelists presenting their work in an online video-conference forum. These presentations, fully a part of the conference and included in the conference program, will allow an extension of the applied rhetoric community throughout the year. It will also serve the goal of limiting the number of concurrent sessions, so that the audiences for each individual panel session are as large as possible from members of the applied rhetoric community.


Proposal deadline: February 28, 2019
