COM 305 - Studies in Public Address

Institution:

Wilkes University

Subject:

Communication Studies

Description:

This class is a hybrid or comparative approach to the study of public address in the United States. We will study traditional andcritical rhetorical theories of public address. We will also engage with speakers and texts that both challenge and reinforce the "great speeches" mold. As we pursue these objectives, we will focus our study on selected social movement rhetorics in the United States, including those of women's and feminist movements, civil rights movements, labor movements, and LGBTQ movements.
