Writing & Rhetoric 1: In Another's Shoes: The Rhetoric of Empathy

PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. This class explores how empathy works as a subject of research and as a force that informs the rhetorical situation of conveying that research to others. How do our feelings about an argument affect our reaction? And how can communicators use empathy effectively and responsibly?
