Fri, 11/15: 3:30 PM – 4:45 PM

In this panel, participants discuss recent books of rhetorical history and theory that promise to reframe in some way our understanding of how we make knowledge. Each participant briefly works through what one book offers the contemporary history of rhetoric, with book authors responding by considering linkages between their own books and those by others on the panel. The panel discussion weaves together, under the aegis of “the making of what we know,” the threads of our many and varied engagements with, in, and coming out of “the” history of rhetoric.

It then opens up into a conversation among the authors and reviewers in order to address the state and future of African American rhetorical history in these books and beyond. Participants include both established figures in the field and emerging scholars–aiming to create a cross generation and cross disciplinary conversation.
