Performing Black ademics: An Artful Inquiry of Black Scholarly Reimaginings in Qualitative Research Through Quilting Performance
This article unpacks ongoing artful inquiry into our experiences as Black academics who center Sankofa sensibilities in our research and writing. Specifically, we conceptualize quilting performance as artful inquiry. Drawing on artful inquiry as a mode of thinking that informs multiple qualitative approaches, we co-construct an ongoing quilt that we co-perform as we navigate higher education. Thus, this article discusses quilting performance as a…

Generational chronotopes and accounting for unethical medicine: Bill Clinton’s apologies for radiation research and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study
Rhetoricians have theorized about temporality since the Sophists. In this essay, I argue that issues of rhetorical temporality can be understood by turning to the chronotope. I examine Bill Clinton’s rhetoric, which is notable for many reasons, including his two apologies for unethical government-sponsored research. Using his apologies for the government’s radiation research and for the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, I map the generational chronotope, …
Evolving Exhibits: "Struggles Over Public Memory in Developing "The Willowbrook Mile
In 2016, the College of Staten Island held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Willowbrook Mile, a walking path across the campuses of the college and the Office of Persons with Developmental Disabilities' Institute for Basic Research that would document the history of the notorious Willowbrook School. The Willowbrook School was a state institution for the developmentally disabled that was closed in part because of an expose about the School's horr…
From Hysteria to Hormones: A Rhetorical History
Possibilities for Inclusive Family and Community in Beth Stroud’s “Walking in the Light”
Acceptance of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals by Christian churches has been uneven at best, with renewed condemnation following each progressive step. Yet LGB Christians remain in denominations whose attitudes toward their sexuality range from mere tolerance to outright condemnation. To make sense of this, we turn to the case of the Rev. Beth Stroud who came out as a lesbian in a 2003 sermon she delivered at the First United Methodi…

Bridging Science and Journalism: Identifying the Role of Public Relations in the Construction and Circulation of Stem Cell Research Among Laypeople
Journalism has been a key site for communicating science, and public relations departments at universities and research hospitals are a vital institutional link between science and journalism. Located betwixt scientific demands for didactic explanations of science and journalistic desire for interesting stories, biomedical public relations writing juggles competing rhetorical demands. This study shows that press releases favor the concerns of int…
Prepare to Believe”: The Creation Museum as Embodied Conversion Narrative
The Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, offers a “spatial sermon” to convince visitors to reject the theory of evolution in favor of Young Earth Creationism, a literal reading of the biblical creation story. The museum combines strategies from the journalistic discussion of the debate with the form of a conversion narrative. The goal of this embodied conversion narrative is to convince visitors that the evidence for creationism and evolution…
Recent rhetorical studies in public understanding of science: Multiple purposes and strengths
We review rhetorical studies of the public understanding of science that were published in journals since the last major review in this journal (1994–2011). Our review suggests that a vibrant and increasingly sophisticated body of research 1) has pursued Gross’s (1994) emphasis on contextual studies and studies emphasizing judgment of scientific rhetorics, 2) is producing a growing body of work designed to develop specific strategies for scientif…
Utopian Punk: The Concept of the Utopian in the Creative Practice of Björk
This article is an attempt to firstly locate and situate the creative practice of Björk in the cultural and musical milieu of late 1970s, early 1980s punk and post-punk world. It traces the impacts, relevancies and typifications that were a part of this milieu and describes their affect on the development of Björk’s work. Secondly it sugg ests that this particular cultural practice worked through notions of the utopian that were and are imbued wi…
Stem cells and the embryo: Biorhetoric and scientism in Congressional debate
Opposition to embryonic stem (ES) cell research in the United States has focused on the status of the embryo and used discursive strategies based on the rhetorical figure of the “public fetus” created in abortion debates. The public fetus is an example of biorhetoric, and the biorhetorical component of it is intensified because political and scientific-technical developments render the extension of it to the ES cell debate problematic. This essay…
Articulating Scientific Practice: Understanding Dean Hamer's “Gay Gene” Study as Overlapping Material, Social and Rhetorical Registers
Rhetoricians have tried to develop a better understanding of the connection between words and things, but these attempts often employ a logic of representation that undermines a full examination of materiality and the complexity of scientific practice. A logic of articulation offers a viable alternative by focusing attention on the linkages between the competing material, social, and rhetorical registers in which scientific knowledge is produced …
A preliminary study of how multiple exposures to messages about genetics impact on lay attitudes towards racial and genetic discrimination
Media depictions of genetics have led to concerns that this coverage will lead to increased belief in genetic determinism and increased discrimination, including racism. Previous studies of single exposures to messages about genetics or messages about genetics and race have shown some increases in discrimination and racism. Since attitude change is linked to repeated exposure to many messages, this study aimed to identify the effect of multiple e…
Memory and Matthew Shepard: Opposing Expressions of Public Memory in Television Movies
In March 2002, two different movies about the murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard appeared on NBC and HBO. NBC's The Matthew Shepard Story falls into the movie-of-the-week genre and drafts a public memory of gay men that reinforces heteronormativity. HBO's The Laramie Project eschews the television movie genre and provides an alternative public memory that expresses a more progressive vision of gays and lesbians. This arti…

The Role of “Genetics” in Popular Understandings of Race in the United States
The increase in public representation of the science-based concept “genetics” in the mass media might be expected to have a major impact on public understanding of the concept of “race.” A model of lay understandings of the role of genetics in the contemporary United States is offered based on focus group research, random digit dial surveys, and community based surveys. That model indicates that lay people identify race primarily by physical feat…
