Update on ENG 316 Rhetoric, Democracy, Advocacy

Posted by: K. Mahoney in Uncategorized

Hey all. I went through my book order today and now can tell you that we will be reading Susan Kates, Activist Rhetorics and American Higher Education, 1885-1937. That’s in addition to the book list I posted last week.

I got a little bit concerned looking at amazon.com because it looks like the book might be out of print. However, on the Southern Illinois University Press site, it shows the book in-print. Very cool!

So, any KU students who are last minute register-ers and might dig this class…REGISTER SOON! I want to make sure this class runs. It looks pretty good now, but I stress over this kind of stuff.
