CFP: What is the New Rhetoric? (Australia) (2/25/05; 9/2/05-9/4/05)

Calls for Papers/Panels
What is the New Rhetoric?
University of Sydney, Australia
September 2-4, 2005

The University of Sydney proudly announces its first conference on Rhetoric: What is the New Rhetoric? Featuring keynote speaker Professor Andrea Lunsford of Stanford University, the conference will focus upon new directions in Rhetoric. Since the 1950’s, the definition of the ‘New Rhetoric’ has expanded to encompass a variety of theories and movements, raising the question of how the ‘New Rhetoric’ is defined and understood in the twenty-first century.

Papers and panels are invited on any aspect of the New Rhetoric, including (but not limited to) writing theory and pedagogy; histories and theories of rhetoric; interdisciplinary approaches to rhetoric, communication, and writing; the significance of rhetoric in both educational and professional sectors, and the interrelatedness of rhetoric and other disciplines.

Please send 300-500 word abstracts to Susan Thomas at susan.thomas_at_arts.usyd.edu.au by 25 February, including your text in the body of the e-mail rather than as an attached document.

Springtime in Sydney is magical, with plenty to see and do, so we encourage you to attend the conference and make a holiday of it.
