Brown Bag: "The Collision of Science and Rhetoric, and a Lesson on How to Save a Bay" by Matthew Ortoleva
Where: The Writing Center, 4th Floor Roosevelt Hall
When: 1:00 pm - 2:00pm

This presentation, part of a two-year ethnographic study on how language and rhetorical acts are used to construct ecological relationships to Narragansett Bay, considers how Save The Bay, a professional environmental advocacy organization, enacts science discourses as a central focus of its activism on behalf of the ecological health of the Narragansett Bay watershed.
