The Zoom link will be distributed within two (2) days of the event.

Please note: This talk is primarily for graduate students. However, all
writing studies professionals are welcome to participate.

Event Description: This is a conversation on personal and academic ethos
and praxis. It will advance an ethos of bearing witness in unsettling ways
and a praxis of unsettling "settled" ideas. This talk situates
underutilized settler archives both as a prism by which to see
organizations and systems of power (e.g., settler colonialism, coloniality,
and/or modernity/coloniality) and a powerful medium of and for decolonial
literacies, rhetorics, and projects.

About the Speaker: Romeo García is Assistant Professor of Writing and
Rhetoric Studies at the University of Utah. His research and teaching
focuses on multi-sited inquiries into where hauntings (e.g., settler
colonialism, coloniality, modernity/coloniality) are at, how they have
unfolded at varying scales, and what their consequences are in the
everyday.

His research appears in the following publications:

   -

   College Composition and Communication
   -

   Rhetoric Society Quarterly Across the Disciplines
   -

   Rhetoric, Politics, and Culture (forthcoming).

García is also a co-editor of the following publications:

   -

   Rhetorics Elsewhere and Otherwise, (with Damián Baca), winner of the
   2020 Conference on College Composition & Communication Outstanding Book
   Award (Edited Collection)
   -

   Unsettling Archival Research (with Gesa Kirsch, Caitlin Burns, and
   Walker Smith) - a forthcoming collection from Southern Illinois University
   Press
