Transcript Episode 6
What does writing for social change entail? With Olivia Soloman, a junior at the University of Central Florida and a double major in Writing and Rhetoric and Political Science, we discuss using your writing to effect change, not just inspire awareness. Not only do we touch on courses such as ENC 4353 – Writing for Social Change and ENC 4354 - Writing with Communities and Nonprofits, but we also reflect on strategies to make your writing effective in the political sphere.
If you want to ensure your voice is heard or have a passion for politics, join us in this rhetorical inspection of activism.
