making meaning w/ Loren Gaudet
The Rhetoric of Health & Medicine, Science & Technology
In this episode of Social Sleuth, I sit down with Dr. Loren Gaudet, an Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria, to talk about rhetoric. I ask Loren about her expertise and research in the rhetoric of health & medicine, and science & technology.
The digital space is a new frontier for meaning-making, and so much about how we think about health and wellness is entrenched in our digital habits—for better or worse. It’s better to ask, “Who is persuading whom of what, and what are the means of persuasion?” — Judy Segal, than ask nothing at all.
