As part of the university’s\u00a0Race & Free Speech Speaker Series<\/a>\u00a0and the Department of Writing, Rhetoric and Discourse’s Writing and Rhetoric without Borders Speaker Series, Professor Krista Ratcliffe will visit DePaul on Oct. 7 to discuss topics in language and cross-cultural communication.<\/p>\n

The author of Rhetorical Listening: \u00a0Identification, Gender, and Whiteness<\/em>, Professor Ratcliffe has suggested that an inattention in schooling to listening as a critical communicative practice frustrates our ability to collectively discuss complex social issues.\u00a0 In the context of competing definitions of race<\/em> in contemporary American culture (white supremacy, colorblindness, multiculturalism, and critical race theory), Ratcliffe will offer rhetorical listening as a tactic for cross-cultural communication, particularly in teaching and learning situations.<\/p>\n
