<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">ARC is an interdisciplinary group of scholars who practice, teach, and study applied rhetoric, which we define as a rhetorically grounded method for and study of action-oriented
research, teaching, and service in live situations that solves problems and achieves positive ends in communities. Since 2018, we have gathered at our annual Symposium to examine how rhetoric is enacted in our professional and non-professional spaces.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We invite you to join us this year for our first half-day virtual symposium where we’ll engage in synchronous discussions of four scholars' exciting work: <s><o:p></o:p></s></p>
