Rebecca Dingo and Enid Schatz Promoted
Congratulations to Rebecca Dingo and Enid Schatz, promoted to Associate Professor, with tenure, effective 1 September 2012!
Rebecca Dingo's Networking Arguments published
Associate Professor Rebecca Dingo's new book Networking Arguments: Rhetoric, Transnational Feminism, and Public Policy Writing was published in 2012 by the University of Pittsburgh Press.
"A highly readable, astute, and thorough intervention into rhetorical studies. Rebecca Dingo's transnational feminist rhetorical analysis is a must-read for scholars and students who take the relationship between language and power seriously. Her text intervenes in those operations by demonstrating the complexities of how gendered rhetorics circulate within neoliberal globalization."
—Rachel Riedner, George Washington University
