As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. Articulate and critique current and alternative rhetorical approaches. 2. Reframe traditional rhetorical practices that end in win and loss and develop ways of conceptualizing and honoring opposing viewpoints that exist in the same space. 3. Consider new and inviting ways of engaging with those who hold different opinions and perspectives.
