9th Intercultural Rhetoric and Discourse Conference (2023)

Intercultural rhetoric (IR) and discourse analysis (DA) are cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of language in use that have been employed successfully across the humanities and social sciences to show how context, genres, and cultures (large and small) shape communication. For this year’s 2023 conference, we are bringing together researchers and professionals working with IR and/or DA in various areas and settings so that we may benefit from the exchange of findings and ideas.

  • For lunch on Friday, October 6th, we recommend visiting the Campus Center for a variety of food options. There you will find a convenience market, sandwiches, fast-food Chinese, pizza, tacos and burritos, salads, smoothies and juices, and coffee. Find out more about food options at the Campus Center at: https://studentaffairs.iupui.edu/campus-center/restaurants-services/index.html.
