About this Blog:

A collaborative project of the University of New Mexico's Fall 2011 graduate rhetoric seminar, this blog explores the ways in which rhetoric, sophistry, & pragmatism intersect in their current theoretical & political implications, & examines how these strands of thought contribute both to a rethinking of the humanities, sciences, & rhetorical studies within the academy & to larger debates over cultural studies.
