Leah Ceccarelli (Communication)
This course is designed to introduce graduate students to the interdisciplinary field that examines the rhetoric of science, and to assist
students in producing scholarship in this field. Rhetoricians of science scrutinize the interplay of language, situation, culture, and prior
tradition on scientific practice. Various types of scientific communication will be explored in this course, including the traditional journal
article and scientific controversies, with a special focus this quarter on the public discourse of scientists. For a course flyer, see
