About

We are the UWM student chapter of the Rhetorical Society of America.

The UW-Milwaukee Student Rhetoric Society of America chapter provides a local forum for novice rhetoricians in the Department of Communication and the Department of English at UWM. It serves a variety of functions related to the study of rhetoric, community engagement, and the practice of scholarship. Our goals include advancing scholarship among the graduate community, as well as providing fertile ground for discussion and support among students of rhetoric.
