| Description: | RHE 270-01 - RHETORICS OF DELIBERATIVE INNOVATION IN SCOTLAND. This course will investigate the rhetorical process of dialogue, deliberation, and community engagement in Scotland and the United Kingdom. Students will examine rhetorical theories relating to deliberative democracy, and then use those to analyze and understand the Scottish context. Scotland is currently an exciting site for many types of democratic innovation, including citizens' juries, local community engagement efforts, participatory budgeting, and expanded participation through the devolution of powers to the Scottish National Parliament. This trip will have an immersion trip over spring break, and students will travel to Scotland and meet with government officials, university faculty and students involved with deliberative democracy, neighborhood organizations, and come face-to-face with the contours of Scottish democracy. Additionally, students will learn about the theories and practices of public deliberation, including framing public issues and facilitation. On returning from Scotland, students will compare and contrast the rhetorics of U.S. local, state, and national contexts for deliberative innovation. This course qualifies as a Literature & Fine Arts credit. One course credit. Enrollment by instructor approval only. Prerequisite: None **This course is open to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors only. Students need to apply for this course (refer to all-student email or contact Dr. Sara Drury, drurys@wabash.edu).
