Hey #teamrhetoric:

I'm part of a team submitting a proposal to RSQ for a special issue on conspiracy theories. If you're doing work on conspiracy rhetoric outside of the US or using a feminist/queer/trans or BIPOC lens, I want to know about it!

Please reach out or share with a friend!

Happy #FeministFridays! ✨

In "Sex in Education and the Rhetoric of Meta-Reception," published in the Fall 2025 issue of Peitho, Carolyn Skinner introduces meta-reception, or commentary on a text's reception, as a concept for feminist rhetorical analysis.

🧵 or doi.org/10.37514/PEI...
Carolyn Skinner's article "Sex in Education and the Rhetoric of Meta-Reception" in the Fall 2025 issue of Peitho conceptualizes meta-reception, or the reception of a text's reception, as a feminist analytic tool that reveals how meaning, authority, and memory are actively shaped through collective commentary on earlier reception, not just texts themselves.
