The course will emphasize rhetorical genre theory and the ways writing both constitutes and reflects change processes. The course includes an overview of current research and theory on writing and systemic and cultural change with an emphasis on the processes involved in creating change. Participants will explore rhetoric's contribution to understanding the motives and means of change, especially in looking at image, narrative and identity.
