<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Eight working groups of 25 participants will read rhetorical theory with a senior scholar and apply it to a common text—the UNR Campus Master Plan—and the myriad dynamics of its situatedness in the Reno community.
The project will include field research activities, facilitated by community liaisons, that gather textual, visual, audio, and graphic data over a three-day period. Two RSA liaisons—Casey Boyle and Jen Malkowski—will incorporate this data into a public-facing
and digitally accessible map that will be presented to the UNR and City of Reno officials on the final day of the symposium. As an open-access document, the map will be available for subsequent scholarly and pedagogical use. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The event will be kicked off with a keynote by John Ackerman, a longtime rhetorical theorist and critic of university–public engagement, its tendencies to perpetuate the neoliberal privatization of public
goods, and the many possibilities for engaging public-university partnerships differently. Working groups and their leaders include: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Boasting a vibrant counter-cultural scene, the City of Reno has recently attracted tech investment from Apple, Tesla, and Switch, and, along with it, a growing activist community. The Reno-Tahoe area has also
become a site for world-class outdoor recreation. It is situated on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, 45 minutes from Lake Tahoe, four hours from the San Francisco Bay Area, and near both Yosemite and Lassen National Parks. A small, central airport offers
easy access to most Western cities and all major hubs. <b>Applications are due October 1, 2018.</b> Registration is $425 for faculty and $325 for students (RSA member rates).
