| Course Section Number: | RHE-270-01 |
| Department: | Rhetoric |
| Description: | Youth are often defined as "the future" in public discourse. However, they face social, political, and civic barriers in their efforts to participate in the deliberation of public issues. This course will examine the rhetoric of youth activism or how youth have attempted to intervene in public discourse on the issues of most concern for their generation. We will examine historical and contemporary, U.S. and international, case studies on youth-led and youth-centered social movements. Course topics will include civil rights, race, the environment, and gun violence prevention. Students will engage with primary rhetorical texts, as well as scholarly rhetorical criticisms. |
