Rhetorical Ecologies invites you on a transformative journey through the history of writing and rhetoric studies’ adoption of ecology, situating this history in rich discussions about: 

  • the potential that ecology holds for rhetoric and writing studies; 
  • the untapped potential of ecology in fostering inclusive, equitable, and justice-oriented approaches to rhetorical inquiry; and  
  • the diverse and dynamic nature of rhetoric ecologies.  
Rather than attempting to outline a complete map of rhetorical ecologies as a unified concept, this book and its contributors are more interested in the idea that rhetorical ecologies are multiple, divergent, and highly situated knowledge-making practices. The variety of perspectives presented in this book provide a solid foundation for understanding how the ecological model of writing can help students become better writers.
