Course Goals
The goal of this course is for us to understand the practice of doing history in relation to
rhetorical traditions, broadly writ. Because we arent using the traditional Western
chronological model with other bits added in along the way, mastery of that traditional
Western canon isnt the point of the course. Instead, well investigate three geographies of
rhetorical practice that have experienced specific points of connection and departure over the
past few thousand years. Participants should come away from the experience of the course with
a deeper sense of what it means to construct rhetorical history, a more complicated
understanding of how to engage in historical scholarship as a rhetorician, and a sense of whats
at stake when we invoke particular histories as the history of rhetoric.
How well get there read, write, talk, read, talk, write, read. Read, talk, think together. Think
about how our practices as scholars accumulate into a story, an ideology, a history.

Requirements
Materials & access:

Digital access Most of our course materials, our class forum, this policy statement, the daily
syllabus, and all assignment details (including deadlines) will be available only through the D2L
course management system. Before you e-mail me with a question, make sure youve
investigated the available information on D2L, please J

Collegiality, diligence & respect:

Everything in the course depends on your willingness to be an active and engaged member of
the intellectual community of the course. In order to be active and engaged you have to do the
readings, to genuinely engage in the writings as generative (not performative), to be respectful
and thoughtful in your responses to one another (and to me), to challenge your own notions of
what it means to do rhetoric history as well as to understand how the discipline has told the
story of itself, to take risks (again and again and again). I promise to be respectful and
thoughtful in return, to urge you to push further, think harder, quit worrying about performing,
and support what youre trying to learn as much as I possibly can. I promise to reward risk, to
reward engagement, to reward your efforts to be outstanding colleagues to one another. I
cant, however, promise a safe space. The idea of a safe space is a colonizing one meant
to silence some at the expense of others; it is almost always an illusion to protect someone
elses privilege.

The work of the course:

General historical understanding
As I said in my initial e-mail to you, having both a general understanding of world
history and making sure you know the specific histories of a particular place and time
are important for your success in this course. Use the general resources below to orient
yourself and explore the specifics online.
Hyperhistory (http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html)
TimeMaps (http://www.timemaps.com/history)
Mihesua, American Indians: Stereotypes & Realities
Treuer, Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask
Gonick, Cartoon History of the Universe; Cartoon History of the World; Cartoon
History of the Modern World; Cartoon History of the United States
Weekly writings
For each week of class, youll have a weekly writing due to the D2L course discussion
forum by Monday at midnight prior to our class on Tuesday. My only expectations for
these writings is that they will be substantially engaged with, and rooted in, the
readings for that day. At least one of your responses during the semester needs to be

Powell/WRA805FS15

public via a blog, vlog or other online space (like Storify). You pick which one & tweet
it using our course hashtag #HistRhetMSU
What does substantially engaged and rooted in really mean?
Week writings should NOT be simple summaries of the readings or a critique of what
the writer got wrong. Instead, they could formulate a provisional response, begin to
synthesize in relation to our other readings/discussions, or pretty much do anything to
demonstrate your engagement with the texts and the work of the course. This is also a
good place to raise substantial questions that you have, or to propose discussion topics
for our class time. I am not looking for appropriate scholarly performance (whatever
that is) in these writings, Im looking for engagement and thoughtful, productive
speculation.
Response pairs
Each week two of you will be the initial responders to your classmates postings on the
discussion list. When we meet on Tuesday, September 8th, well negotiate the focus &
parameters of this response (then Ill change the description in the D2L version of this
syllabus) and have folks sign up for the response days. You will do this twice during the
semester. For the weeks when youre an initial responder, you wont have a weekly
writing due.
Historical brief
Each of you will pick a week to provide specific historical information for that weeks set
of readings through a short (1-2 pages) historical brief. The point of these are to set the
historical/policitcal stage for discussion and understanding of that weeks readings.
Historical briefs should be distributed via the D2L Historical Briefs folder by the
Wednesday prior to the following weeks readings (so, for example, the historical brief
for the readings listed on September 22nd would be due by 9/16). These briefs are
meant to dig deep and augment the general historical knowledge expected of all
members of the course each week.
Final project
The final project will be a collaborative project in which your group assembles a set of
readings for another geographical site. Details and parameters of this assignment will
be collectively negotiated throughout the semester and finalized by September 22nd -Ill post what we decided to D2L after that. Well have at least two formal check-ins
during the semester (via oral or written progress reports, tbd), and well share
presentation-length versions of these projects during our finals slot on December 14th.
The point of this project is to provide a space in which you can practice assembling a
bit of rhetoric history but do so with the support of your colleagues.

Grading
When I evaluate your work in the course, Ill look at it in two ways your daily performance,
participation and engagement (weekly writings, engagement in discussion, collegial
collaboration, conferences with me, etc.) and your project work (both the along-the-way project
& the final project).
Though I wont grade you work during the semester, I will respond to it. If you have any
questions or concerns about what those responses mean, please talk to me. If, at any time
during the course, you feel anxious or uncertain about how your work will translate into a grade
at the end of the course, please talk to me.
