Rhetorical Argumentation and Extremism
BOOK LAUNCH
With
Nick Kinnish (J.D., Windsor)
Daniel Mejía (PhD, Argumentation Studies, Windsor)
Ruairi Porcellini (Hons. BA, Windsor)
Christopher W. Tindale (Arg Studies/CRRAR)
This book is a collaboration of scholars from the Argumentation Studies program and CRRAR, developed between 2021 and 2026 and supported by a SSHRC Insight grant. It involved a total of 7 authors at different stages of the project and with different levels of involvement, but all chapters are the result of team discussions and revisions. Three of the team have since graduated from the PhD program, one from the Law School, and one from the undergraduate Philosophy program. Another was a visiting student at CRRAR.
The book comprises 5 theoretical chapters and 5 chapters of case studies to which the theory is applied. Ruairi Porcellini and Christopher Tindale will talk about the project in general, its theoretical foundations and findings, and the value and importance of collaborative research in the Humanities. Nick Kinnish and Daniel Mejía (joining us remotely) will address two of the case studies.
