Hope everyone is well and enjoyed the break!
I wanted to make sure that everybody in KU Ars Rhetorica knows about the community service planning meeting that's currently in the works. At the last KUAR meeting, we discussed some possible service events. One event we discussed was hanging out for an afternoon with some kiddos who are on the waiting list for Bigs in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program; another event on the table is an hour or so of conversation with adult English Second Language learners in a program for which KUAR co-chair Rachel Bloom volunteers.
KU Ars Rhetorica is a graduate student organization of the University of Kansas, recognized by the Rhetoric Society of America. Our mission is to provide graduate students with interests in rhetoric opportunities to share their scholarship and find excuses to socialize with one another.

Comparative Rhetoric, or Is My Game Slippin?
Today's question mark is brought to you by comparative rhetoric.
Or, rather, it was brought to me by comparative rhetoric. And RSQ. That's not a bad question mark, either. It's a way of saying, "How did I miss this?" So I figured I'd ask you smart folks. Is "comparative rhetoric" something that I should have known about? I'm feeling a little inadequate as a rhetorician right now...

Party time
Hi all,
My name is Spencer Harris (we met in name only during the informational meeting) and I am the social chair for the Communication Studies Department. On Friday, we will be going to Dempsey's around 4 to celebrate something (really anything) but namely the middle of the semester. As Ars Rhetorica is about building academic bridges and meeting new people, I thought that I would let you all know so that you may join in the fun! Hope to see you there!

More on Egypt - digital and feminist rhetorics
Vince contributes the following links on the revolution in Egypt:
A piece in the Kansas City Star from just last weekend that mentions the ways that digital and new media have made it possible for Egyptian-Americans to contribute from afar (Vince mentioned that this is interesting in terms of thinking about agency in a new media world).
Another piece from Democracy Now! that looks at the role of women in the uprising.
Any connections here to what Kundai was writing about in his really excellent commentary on issues related to rhetoric (as a disciplinary field or area of inquiry with all its messy disciplinary boundary issues) and Egypt?
