Deceptive and unethical rhetorical strategies are increasingly prevalent in politics, media, digital spaces, and everyday conversations. Whether the result of a changing discursive landscape (McIntyre, 2018; Nichols, 2017), our enmeshment in digital environments (Bolter, 2019; Pigg, 2020; Gurri, 2018), or a reflection of long-standing rhetorical trends (Fuller, 2018; Roberts-Miller, 2019) that have simply accelerated in the digital age, the question of how to address these disingenuous rhetorics is a challenge for both scholars of rhetorical theory and researchers from across the disciplines.

Indiana English encourages submissions on the role of English studies in the Midwest but will consider submissions on any topic related to English literature and criticism, linguistics, or pedagogy. For this volume, we are particularly interested in exploring writings on national politics, the Midwest's impact on Presidential elections, works studying candidates who came from the Midwest, and the rich literary history that comes with such considerations (speeches, policies, educational content). We also publish original creative work (fiction, poetry, creative or literary nonfiction, and photography).

Some might argue that hip hop was and is a cultural (r)evolution for many reasons, including:
