11:30 am - 12:30 pm Keynote by Dr. Atilla Hallsby
Keynote by Professor Atilla Hallsby, Ph.D.
“What is Rhetoric Enough? Thinking about Forms in and of Rhetorical Scholarship”
Atilla Hallsby is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. His research focuses on how rhetoric shapes public perceptions about secrecy, surveillance, transparency, and opacity in American public culture. He is currently working on an upcoming book, This Page Intentionally Left Blank, which describes how rhetoric and secrets are entangled in racist dog-whistles, the public and criminal trials of whistleblowers, the intensification of different kinds of cyber-war, and the growing American obsession with fraudsters and fraud.
