COMM 3610U – Persuasion


The concept of rhetoric-as-persuasion is associated with the power of language to liberate, emancipate, control, and deceive the public. In this advanced course, students explore topics in the areas of the production of public knowledge, public argument, public action, public response, and public critique. To better understand the relationship between rhetoric, policy and ethics, learners will examine the consequences of particular rhetorical strategies in complex situations of everyday life, the workplace, and as part of the global public sphere.
