What is it about?
People have been practicing, studying, and teaching the art of rhetoric since antiquity. This article critically traces this history and proposes a new model for this century. This new model integrates feminist and posthumanist theories and practices of rhetoric. This new model also prioritizes rhetorical education for the public good and resists the neoliberal tendencies of corporatized higher education.

Why is it important?
We argue that this model of rhetorical education can help solve public problems "between planet and campus."
Perspectives
I learned a lot about rhetoric and rhetorical education from my coauthor, Rosa Eberly, who taught my undergraduate introductory "history and theory of rhetoric" course. This course inspired my study and teaching of rhetoric. It was a pleasure to collaborate with her on this project.
