We are committed to communication praxis. As the hosts of this year’s Public Address Conference (PAC), we will feature two free roundtables for a “preconference” on education: the first will highlight policy and debates about K-12 education and justice; the second will focus on trends, both promising and disconcerting, of rhetorical studies and trends in higher education. Both preconference roundtables are free and open to the public. Join us on the University of Colorado Boulder campus to foster timely discussions from leading scholars.
