Ecological, Pedagogical, Public Rhetoric
Rivers, Nathaniel A.; Weber, Ryan P.
College Composition and Communication, v63 n2 p187-218 Dec 2011
Public rhetoric pedagogy can benefit from an ecological perspective that sees change as advocated not through a single document but through multiple mundane and monumental texts. This article summarizes various approaches to rhetorical ecology, offers an ecological read of the Montgomery bus boycotts, and concludes with pedagogical insights on a first-year composition project emphasizing rhetorical ecologies. (Contains 20 notes.)
