Welcome to The Rhetorical Situation!

The Rhetorical Situation is a blog and website curated by the UCSC Writing Program’s Teaching Team. What is our goal? To bring Writing Program faculty together through community and professional development. We aim to provide resources, amplify faculty voices, and stimulate collegial discussions. We will also be expanding the blog to incorporate key Writing Program events and DEIA pedagogies.

Our blog is posted twice a quarter, featuring stories and perspectives from you! We also use the blog to keep y’all updated on key events and reminders for the program. The rest of the website features resources to assist faculty in their pedagogy and development. Some new changes will include resources for faculty support outside of the classroom and greater opportunities for connection.

We welcome any feedback or recommendations for content that you wish to see represented in the blog. If you would like to be added as a subscriber and receive blog updates delivered to your UCSC email, give us a follow!

We’re glad you’re here!
