Rhetorical Conversations: Race, Class, and Gender in the Works of Jacqueline Jones Royster and Shirley Wilson Logan

Tanya Marie Robertson, University of Texas at El Paso

Abstract

This project is an examination of Jacqueline Jones Royster and Shirley Wilson Logan as knowledge-makers in the field of rhetoric and composition. There is a large gap in research on the contemporary African American women scholars who act as knowledge makers of rhetorical theory and rhetorical pedagogy. There is circularity in the notion that as Royster and Logan examine the history of the field—African American rhetorical practices, feministic rhetorical practices, English language studies and literacy, and classroom practices—they are, themselves, having an impact on the field.
