          Rhetoric and Public Affairs (R&PA)

          This series is no longer accepting proposals. Please see our new Rhetoric of Power and Protest series or contact Catherine Cocks with queries and proposals for projects in rhetoric.

          The Rhetoric and Public Affairs Series is devoted to the history, theory, and criticism of public discourse. The books in this series examine rhetoric’s role in changing society and influencing public policy, and explore the public debate of important social issues, while considering concepts such as freedom of expression, social responsibility, culture, and power.
