Invitation

We would like to invite you to the RHEFINE conference: Rhetoric for Innovative Education. The conference will be held on October 13, 2022, at the Faculty of Polish Studies of the University of Warsaw and is organized by the Center of Applied Rhetoric and the Department of Rhetoric and Media at the Institute of Applied Polish Studies, with the cooperation of the Polish Rhetorical Society.

During the conference, we would like to discuss

• interrelationships between rhetoric and other disciplines of knowledge

• the methods of rhetorical criticism

• the didactics of rhetoric

The conference will conclude a two-year Erasmus+ project RHEFINE, realised since 2020 by the University of Warsaw together with the University of Zagreb and The Institute of Rhetoric and Communication from Sofia. During the meeting, we would like especially to discuss the rhetorical curricula and ways of teaching rhetoric and conducting rhetorical research on a graduate level. We are interested in issues concerning bringing together rhetorical perspective and other fields of research, such as:

• linguistics

• literary studies

• translation studies

• sociology

• communication studies

• media studies

• political science

• philosophy

• film studies

We would also like to initiate a discussion on methods of rhetorical criticism, their effectiveness, research procedures and their application on graduate level. We want to devote a significant part of the conference to a free discussion on these issues, therefore we ask that the papers be kept relatively brief (not exceeding 15 minutes). We would also like the papers to initiate a discussion on innovations in the didactics of rhetoric and its interdisciplinary potential in academic teaching and research practice.

• The deadline for submission is September 20th.

• There are no fees for the conference.

Please send any questions regarding the conference to the following address: zrim@uw.edu.pl
