The Inaugural Meeting of the National Consortium of Ecological Rhetoric & Writing will take place on Sunday, May 29, at the 16th Rhetoric Society of America Conference.
Dr. Michelle Hall Kells of the University of New Mexico and Robert Affeldt of Adams State University, Colorado, will present their panel "Environmental Rhetoric, Latinidad, & the Southwest: Place and the Language of Belonging," and lead a discussion on the following framing questions:
How can we as scholars cultivate environmental discourses to enhance civic engagement and rhetorical education?
Why do you feel such concepts (or metaphors) as “environment” and “ecology” continue to be useful ways of thinking about rhetoric and discourse?
What do you feel are the largest challenges (e.g., disciplinary, scholarly, social, institutional, etc.) facing those who are interested in exploring and implementing principles associated with environmental discourse?
Attendees to the panel will be encouraged to participate in the discussion and to coalesce action plans for the ongoing development of the RSA-affiliated NCERW.
Discussion notes and action plans will be posted to the NCERW website following the Inaugural Meeting.
