Abstract

This article argues for a pedagogy that attends to emotion as a crucial, epistemological component of rhetorical education. After exploring dominant cultural tropes for understanding emotion, I examine examples of how these discourses materialize in popular culture. I then draw from classroom moments to analyze the possibilities for and complexities of studying emotion in the classroom.
