Rhetoric Society Quarterly
Aims & Scope
Rhetoric Society Quarterly, the official journal of the Rhetoric Society of America, features original articles on all areas of rhetorical studies including theory, history, criticism, and pedagogy. The journal addresses an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students of rhetorics who work in communication studies, English studies, philosophy, politics and other allied fields.
Submissions:
Rhetoric Society Quarterly is published five times a year. Article-length manuscripts on all areas of rhetorical studies including theory, history, criticism, and pedagogy are invited. Contributions should exhibit high standards for professional scolarship, and should offer new knowledge or advance the discussion on significant issues in the field of rhetoric in ways that address the work and common interests of rhetoricians who reside in a variety of disciplines.
Special Announcement
Rhetoric Society Quarterly is pleased to announce that the Kneupper Award for the best article in the 2010 volume of the journal is awarded to:
Three members of the Editorial Board served as the award committee: David Fleming, Jean Goodwin, and Patricia Roberts-Miller (chair). Members of the committee found this essay to be “extraordinary,” “potentially transformative,” and “startling,” noting that it “identifies a question central to rhetorical studies” and serves as “a model of what great rhetorical scholarship can be—specific and abstract, drawing canonical theorists together with noncanonical texts, and pushing the field in a genuinely new direction.”
This award is given each year in memory of Charles Kneupper, 1949–1989, who initiated and organized the earliest biennial RSA conferences at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he taught. Charles was an active member of RSA and mentor to many graduate students in rhetoric.
This announcement will also appear in the spring issue of RSQ (41:2).
