““Crossing Traditions: Reimagining the Political”
International Rhetoric Workshop
Uppsala University, Sweden
17-19 August 2016
The International Rhetoric Workshop (IRW) invites PhD students and emerging scholars to participate in developing the study of political rhetoric and its theoretical traditions. At beautiful Uppsala University, Sweden, we will meet in the last days of summer to advance rhetorical scholarship on “Crossing Traditions: Reimagining the Political”.
In an informal setting with a focus on engaging discussion, developing scholarship, and extending community, IRW welcomes everyone interested in rhetoric’s relation to politics, theory, history, power or its formative concepts to join us. The workshop theme addresses questions of how various traditions of rhetorical theory meet and merge within global rhetorical practices, and how these crossings can change and develop the concept of the political.”
