Rhetoric Society of America

The Rhetoric Society of America (RSA) is an academic organization focused on the study of rhetoric, which is the art of effective communication and persuasion. Founded in 1969, RSA brings together scholars, educators, and students who explore how language influences thought and action in various contexts, such as politics, literature, and education. The society promotes research, hosts conferences, and publishes scholarly work to advance understanding of rhetorical practices and theories. By fostering dialogue among its members, RSA contributes to the development of rhetoric as a vital field of study in the humanities and social sciences.
