Ph.D. in Rhetoric & Writing
The Rhetoric & Writing doctoral program prepares students for impactful careers as rhetoric and composition faculty and administrators. Our students engage a range of intellectual approaches at the intersection of history, theory and pedagogy. Students learn together in and beyond the space of the seminar room, developing research, teaching and civic identities through a range of coursework in rhetorical, cultural, empirical and digital approaches to writing.

Announcing the Words Change Worlds Collaboratory
Writing is an intervention in the world, a reaching out into the every day, an intercession in the particular. From this perspective, written texts do not contain meaning so much as attain meaning through use and reuse, mixing and remixing, distribution and seemingly boundless circulation. The Words Change Worlds Collaboratory is a collection of faculty-led, collaborative studies of writing at work in the world—from academic worlds to professional, public, and personal. Learn about the current research projects in the Words Change Worlds Collaboratory and see how you can get involved!
