Welcome to the Virtual Rhetorician!  This site represents a quixotic attempt to bring the old fashioned art of discourse analysis into the electronic age.

I study the political rhetoric of dead women.  Mostly dead white women.  Long dead white women. It's a tough job, and nearly as unfashionable as studying dead pale males. But somebody has to do it! If we don't know how we got where we are today, we'll still  be stuck there tomorrow.

The site is loosely arranged around my professional/personal interests. Along the path you may find information useful to your education. You may even find it interesting. So, enjoy your visit. Just click on a menu button and off you go!
