  1. Most excellent! We are going to have to swap reading lists sometime--I've been doing a lot of reading on the political theory side of things but am only starting to dip my toes into the new media aspects. Mainly by trying everything else first . I bounced around a lot in my undergrad (Economics->Philosophy->Political Science->Literature->Rhet/Comp) before having an influential professor who helped me discover what it was that I was actually trying to study. For me, one of the most appealing things about Rhet/Comp is how well it lends itself to interdisciplinary study, and its wide-reach of application. Hello! And I agree, the food during seminar sessions kept me going.
  2. Nice to meet you, and congrats on your acceptances! Those all look like amazing programs.
  3. Thank you, and for sure! The big one on my mind right now is my thesis work, which is focused on rhetorical maneuvers/the potential for public argument using hashtag composition (specifically movements like #NotAllMen -> #YesAllWomen).
  4. Thank you! I'm a little all over the place to be honest, but mainly interested in researching how civic discourse and epistemology operate within virtual communities.
  5. Hello everyone! I'm a 2015 PhD applicant heading to Texas in the fall, and also a lurker coming out of the woodwork to introduce themselves--super excited to see a rhet/comp board
