The conference explores the intersections of dignities and indignities in rhetorical studies, focusing on vulnerabilities, contradictions, and contingencies in discourse.
In 2026, we will turn our attention to “Rhetorical In/Dignities,” asking what it might mean to locate the histories and futures of rhetorical studies through in/dignities. For many of us the promise of rhetoric lies in the persistent vulnerabilities, contradictions, and contingencies of discourse. These entanglements—of dignities with indignities—amplify the need for rhetorical conversations, theories, and debates.
