Ohio State’s Writing, Rhetoric, and Literacy (WRL) Program has a proud history as a national leader in scholarship and teaching on cultural theories and practices of reading, writing, composing, communicating, and consuming and producing media. Students interested in WRL and its intersections with medicine, science, queer studies, feminist studies, human rights studies, disability studies, critical race studies and posthumanism will find many opportunities to participate in reading groups, graduate workshops, symposia and lecture series in these areas.
