Writing & Rhetoric 2: Curated Reality: How Media Shape What We Know

PWR 2 courses focus on developing strategies for presenting research-based arguments in both written and oral/multimedia genres. This class takes as its theme curated media platforms. Who gets "published" and why? We will investigate how media bring voices and ideas to their audiences: how Ted Talk organizers decide what ideas are important, how podcasts distribute what we hear, and how museum curators control what art we remember.
