Writing & Rhetoric 2: California Dreaming: The Golden State's Rhetorical Appeals

PWR 2 courses focus on developing strategies for presenting research-based arguments in both written and oral/multimedia genres. Questions we may ask in this course: How were farmworkers successfully unionized, and how were these workers treated during the COVID-19 pandemic? What is the relationship between restaurants promising sustainable seafood and the decimation of California's kelp forests? What economic opportunities drew Gold Rush-era Chinese immigrants to California, and how were these immigrants treated as they built the railroads?
