graduate minor in Literacy & Rhetorical Studies

waterfallThe interdisciplinary graduate minor in Literacy and Rhetorical Studies (LRS) offers graduate students opportunities to interrogate issues related to writing and literacy, and to do so with faculty members drawn from disciplines across the University (download our current flyer here [PDF file]).

Students enrolled in this minor craft individualized programs that will complement their degree programs and open new perspectives for scholarship and teaching. LRS students' specific literacy-related interests have included (but are not limited to) historical, feminist, and cultural analysis of literacy and rhetoric; theories and practices of writing pedagogy; reading and writing in non-academic settings; and effects of technology on literacy practice.
