<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The Applied Rhetoric Collaborative (ARC) is an interdisciplinary group of scholars who practice, teach, and study applied
rhetoric: 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. ARC offers a para-professional space for support, feedback, collaboration,
and encouragement to those at any stage of their careers (from students to retirees) who seek to solve problems and achieve positive ends in communities using applied rhetoric. </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Our summer symposia allow us to examine how rhetoric is enacted in our professional and public spaces. Symposium presentations
have covered the realms of applied rhetoric (AR) in healthcare, academic programming, digital spaces, physical public spaces, the media, and the classroom. Topics have been as varied as public memory projects, rhetorical activism, free speech rules, international
censorship, and historical legal testimony. </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Since the symposium began in 2018, the world we live in has dramatically changed in many ways—for better and for worse.
Accordingly, ARC sees a need to reconsider how we conceptualize how we “do” rhetorical work in our communities and classrooms. ARC’s fifth summer symposium will continue to build on the foundations laid during our previous meetings, as we come together to
further develop and define the ideas of applied rhetoric. To do this, we ask symposium participants to emphasize how people (researchers, teachers, practitioners, activists, leaders, community members, and everyone in between) bring rhetoric into the world. </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">We are interested in diverse works that discuss how we bring rhetoric into the world. Potential topics of interest may
include, but are not limited to: </span></p>

<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The Applied Rhetoric Symposium was built on foundations of collaboration, coordination, networking, and friendship. In
the symposium, we seek to embody these concepts by providing community-building opportunities for those who enact and study applied rhetoric. The symposium itself consists of multiple plenary sessions focused on the presentation of scholarly work to an audience
of colleagues. The presentations consist of new “works in progress,” concrete results of established research, and/or what we call “Quick Hits—Rhetoric in Practice” (all described below) with ample time to discuss with the audience after each session. </span></p>

<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Not a presentation or a workshop, Works in Progress sessions are a time to get feedback on how to finish a project that
seems stuck or how to start working on a promising idea that seems overwhelming. </span></p>

<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The last three years have presented many unexpected difficulties in our professional and personal lives that have limited
access to the traditional conference model for many people in our communities. To embody the goals of applied rhetoric, ARC is committed to making the conference accessible to as many people as possible by offering an in-person conference model in Minneapolis
that includes hybrid delivery methods for those unable to travel. </span></p>
