Rhetcanada / Canadian Society For The Study Of Rhetoric

RhetCanada. A bilingual society of scholars dedicated to the study of rhetoric. Une société bilingue d'érudits consacrée à l'étude de la rhétorique.

The Canadian Society for the Study of Rhetoric (CSSR) promotes the study of the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages, and its relationships with other fields of enquiry and realms of practice, including: rhetorical theory and criticism, history of rhetoric, political and social discourse, sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, composition theory and pedagogy, professional communication, semiotics, media and communications, and critical theory and literature.

This bilingual society is open to anyone involved in the teaching or research of rhetoric. Our membership regularly includes scholars from Canada, the United States, and Europe. Our conferences often include joint sessions with other societies as a natural reflection of the interdisciplinary interests of our members.
