What is the Young Rhetoricians’ Conference (YRC)?
The Young Rhetoricians’ Conference (YRC) began in 1985 at San Jose State University. From its inception, YRC has been a place for those who teach rhetoric at the university level to share research about teaching rhetoric and techniques for teaching rhetoric.
“Young” refers not to the age of the rhetoricians, but refers instead to rhetors with a willingness, in the mind, to dance whenever possible. We invite you to come dance with us and share your in-progress scholarship on the teaching of rhetoric. This conference welcomes presentations outside traditional conference presentations and encourages participation. Please spread the word and join us this June!
