Rhetorics Change / Rhetoric’s Change

Volume 23 • Winter 2017-2018 | THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSEMBLY FOR EXPANDED PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING, JAEPL, provides a forum to encourage research, theory, and classroom practices involving expanded concepts of language. It contributes to a sense of community in which scholars and educators from preschool through the university exchange points of view and cutting-edge approaches to teaching and learning. JAEPL is especially interested in helping those teachers who experiment with new strategies for learning to share their practices and confirm their validity through publication in professional journals. | CONTENTS OF VOLUME 23: ESSAYS: The Politics of Consciousness by Kurt Spellmeyer | Writing, Silence, and Well-Being by Robert P.

Rhetorics Change/Rhetoric’s Change features selected essays, multimedia texts, and audio pieces from the 2016 Rhetoric Society of America biennial conference, which spotlighted the theme “Rhetoric and Change.” The pieces are broadly focused around eight different lines of thought: Aural Rhetorics; Rhetoric and Science; Embodiment; Digital Rhetorics; Languages and Publics; Apologia, Revolution, Reflection; and Intersectionality, Interdisciplinarity, and the Future of Feminist Rhetoric. Simultaneously familiar yet new, the value of this collection can be found in the range of its modes and voices.
