Exploring the Arts and Social Justice Through Rhetorical Analysis and Reimagining Audience

Abstract

In this pedagogically focused study, the author shares an assignment approach that encourages students to explore discourse communities and topics of social justice through rhetorical analysis and the reimagination of audiences across various contexts. This project sequence helps students foster creativity and use multimodality while considering cross-cultural exchange and socially-relevant topics. The instructor brings an interdisciplinary background to students who have interdisciplinary interests and helps them see connectivity through shared goals and values. Practical tools and resources are shared.
