Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

This course provides graduate students with an introduction to the field of Indigenous Rhetorics, including its rhetorical traditions and practices, issues, problems, history, and cultural contexts of various indigenous communities. The goal of this advanced course is to build on students' existing knowledge about the rhetorical strategies, techniques, and tactics of contemporary indigenous peoples in several genres: creative nonfiction, academic scholarship, stand-up comedy, journalism, political and legal documents, and web presence. Specifically, students will engage with the works of writers, thinkers, performers, artists, and speakers in specific contemporary indigenous communities as these practitioners strive to carve space for their voices and perspectives in the crowded space of modern intellectual thought and practice. This course focuses primarily on Native American Rhetorics. This course is appropriate for those interested in Composition & Rhetoric, Literature and Media Studies. This class may also include the opportunity for digital storytelling, blogging, interviewing, and community engagement. This is an elective course for all English MA students.
