The rhetoric of peace is easily misunderstood to be the rhetoric of war in disguise. In this course, we will examine war- and peace-related public discourse as rhetorical phenomena by looking at how people employ language to make arguments for and against war. We will also explore how people interpret past conflicts and how people advocate beliefs and values embedded or inherent in the culture of peace/war.

Although the course involves a substantial reading component including scholarly articles as well as college-level textbook chapters, the primary focus will be on collaborative and individual research projects in forms of oral and writing assignments.
