| Department: | Rhetoric |
| Description: | What is the role of rhetoric in the public understanding of science, and in the creation of science-focused public policy? This course investigates the intersections of rhetoric and science in public engagement, exploring historical and contemporary examples in medicine, health, environmental studies, space, and nanotechnology. Throughout the semester, we will consider the use of tropes in science communication, how the technical, public, and personal spheres of argumentation impact public policy, and the opportunities and challenges of public engagement in science. This course is well suited for rhetoric students interested in analyzing science-focused public discourse, and science students interested in the public communication of science. |
