General Standing Session: Composition and Rhetoric

This session welcomes all papers addressing the fields of composition and rhetoric from
pedagogical, practical, and theoretical perspectives. In addition, we encourage papers that
address the conference theme, “City of God, City of Destruction,” in ways that connect the
rhetoric/composition field with topics or practices examining the current political, religious, and
social divides. Possible areas of interest include debates, classroom strategies, and rhetorical
approaches to:

 The perceived widening of the rural/urban split in the U.S.
 Religious influence in public life—political, social, and educational
 Ecology and sustainability—perhaps gaining apocalyptic meaning with recent climate
disasters

Primary Subject: Rhetoric, Composition, Linguistics
Secondary Subject: Conference Theme—City of God, City of Destruction
