Conducting Socially Responsible Research: Critical Theory, Neo-Pragmatism, and Rhetorical Inquiry [Paperback]

This book redefines our understanding of theory, criticism and pedagogy with the vocabulary of neo-pragmatism. When human knowledge becomes historicized and socialized, the distinctions between our public, academic and instructional personae fade. In place of such traditional personae, a new identity is encouraged for scholars in the field of communication. The book successfully argues that rhetorical scholars can assume a cultural importance in life.This book redefines our understanding of theory, criticism and pedagogy with the vocabulary of neo-pragmatism.
