In(ter)vention and the Rhetorical Tradition
Rhetoric 103A explores what is called rhetorical tradition from its Western historical origins in Greece and Rome.

Rhetorical study and practice today continues the tradition’s interest in varied, artful acts of invention and intervention that shape our worlds—for better and worse.
