The Rhetorics of Health and Medicine: Inventional Possibilities for Scholarship and Engaged Practice

Blake Scott University of Central Florida ; Judy Z. Segal University of British Columbia ; Lisa Keranen

Abstract

This essay argues that rhetoricians of health of medicine should continue to carve out an expansive focus on the exigencies, functions, and impacts of health-related discourse; attend to the movement, surrounding networks, and ecologies of this discourse; and work with other scholars/researchers, both inside and outside disciplinary rhetorical studies, toward a variety of goals.
