[Lynda C Walsh]

Faculty at the University of Nevada, Reno will host the first “RSA Project,” a four day intensive symposium<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frhetoricsociety.org%2Faws%2FRSA%2Fpt%2Fsp%2Fsummer&data=01%7C01%7Clwalsh%40unr.edu%7Cea5e5d1aa4264509d2e908d5e393f495%7C523b4bfc0ebd4c03b2b96f6a17fd31d8%7C1&sdata=UtiTZwG%2BG5tub9HdecFeHUvgvhXAVNAcTs2AC5PbMYI%3D&reserved=0> focused on a single topic. From May 20–23, 2019, eight working groups of 25 participants each will collaborate with scholars and community leaders to discuss how rhetoric intersects with urban development, local politics, environmental justice, and systems of inequality. The case-study for the symposium involves the “Campus Master Plan,” a strategic initiative to redevelop the Gateway Precinct and University District surrounding the University of Nevada, Reno. Directed by professors Lynda Walsh, Catherine J. Chaput, and Amy Pason, the Summer Project in Power, Place, and Publicswill provide a small, dedicated community of scholars the opportunity to focus on issues that have implications for towns and cities across the country. The participants in each working group will collaborate to produce a public-facing rhetorical cartography of the CMP. On the final day, working groups will present their contribution to this larger work to UNR administrators and city officials.
