Does Rhetoric fall into this forum?

[commcrazy]

I know there's a rhetoric listed in the English writing section, but I'm all Comm, with a focus in rhetorical criticism.

This is the right forum, right?

As an addendum, I'm freaking out trying to find (more) advisors that fit with my research interests (currently looking at how identity is constructed, specifically looking through a queer lens); does anyone have recommendations?

Thanks!

Here's a good thread about fit:

There are some programs that combine Communications and Rhetoric. I know at least one - at Northwestern. Have you already looked into it? I did not apply there last year exactly because of this rhetoric angle.

Aaaaah, I'd love to think Northwestern's going to accept me, but I'm a realist, and it's just not going to happen.

Some grad programs thus far have definitely had rhetoricians or not--some are much more mass comm oriented, some interpersonal, etc. It's kind of a grab bag right now, with not a ton of professors doing what I'm doing, or if they are, there's only 1 person at a school (and I had always been told to look for multiple people). Hmm. I don't know, I'm just a little lost.

Thanks, strangefox!

It's ok to feel lost when you are choosing schools I felt this way to and yet I chose, I applied and I was admitted!

Don't cross Northwestern off your list only because it is a reach school. If it is a good fit for you and you will show that clearly through your application - there is definetely a chance to be admitted!

Good luck!
