Writing & Rhetoric 1: Stuff of Nightmares: The Rhetoric of Fear

PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. This class takes as its theme fear. While fear is undeniably physiological and psychological, it is also shaped through discourse. We will make legible some of those discursive dynamics and analyze how different fears manifest.
