This course and its understanding of technology is grounded in the critical methodology of rhetoric, which students will hopefully come to value as a productive method for shaping and negotiating their personal, professional, and technological lives.

UNCW ENG 553 Welcome Video

The UNCW sp11 ENG 553 students greet their ENGL 736 fellows at Georgetown. Our video focuses primarily on the UNCW campus and greater Wilmington area to reveal the physical locations that undergird our rhetorical acts. Although digital works may seem dislocated and disembodied, they have complex material investments that are worthy of study.
