RST Conference
We will convene a Rhetoric of Science and Technology conference in class on Mondays, December 5 and December 12. The conference will feature nine presentations based on either 1) papers or 2) posters.
Paper presentations should include a slidedeck or a handout. Likely many of the paper presentations will extend from Project Two. If you develop a slidedeck, please submit it via email no later than Sunday, December 4, at 7 p.m. Paper presentations should be no longer than 12 minutes and should anticipate time for Q&A-style discussion.
Poster presentations will work somewhat differently in that you will bring a printed copy of your poster to class on Monday, December 12. Poster presenters will show their poster to the class and give a brief, informal explanation of the ideas it presents and design decisions you made.
Proposals
Develop a one-page proposal (i.e., no more than 500 words) that articulates your plan for the conference. That is, your proposal should explicitly establish whether you will be developing a poster or a paper. In the proposal, introduce your work and explain its relevance to an RST audience. Your proposal is due by the start of class on Monday, November 21. Upload a copy to the EMU Online Dropbox.
