ENG 688 | Women's Rhetoric and Feminist Pedagogy

​

Throughout this course, I reflected on the means by which women and other marginalized individuals assert their rhetorical agency in a variety of social and political contexts. As I studied women's identity politics and knowledge construction across millennia, I gathered an awareness of female contributions to literary and general history--a dynamic series of countless actions that resist positing the concept of 'woman' as an indivisible category of analysis. Along with exploring the rhetorically agential  processes that women assert through speech, dress, and even silence, I learned about different ways to integrate feminist principles into instruction, thereby making the classroom/library a feminist space.
