Writing & Rhetoric 2: Dirty Pretty Things: The Rhetoric of Objects and Objectification

PWR 2 courses focus on developing strategies for presenting research-based arguments in both written and oral/multimedia genres. This course will use a rhetorical lens to study global contexts and conversations around objects and objectification-- from the relationships shared by cultures, objects, and people to the ways human beings have been objectified, such as through colonialism, enslavement, sex-trafficking, and organ trade.
