In the newest episode of The Big Rhetorical Podcast, Charles chats with Dr. Jonathan Osborne. Originally from Louisiana, Dr. Osborne moved to Maine after finishing his master’s degree at Tulane University to work in Multicultural Affairs at the University of New England. Currently, he is a newly minted Ph.D. in the English Department at Northeastern University and a Diversity Fellow in the Writing Department at Ithaca College. His dissertation, titled “Difference within Difference: A Study of Modern Black Conservative Rhetoric” argues that scholars of African American rhetoric(s) neglect conservative political perspectives latent within the larger African American rhetorical tradition. Through his research he contends that Black conservative rhetoric contains several rhetorical techniques generally reserved for more mainstream means of persuasion, thus questioning the status of Black conservatives residing on the fringes of social consciousness and Black communities. This podcast features the music by Silva de Alegria - "Una Maana Dorada" and "Vuelve a la"; Florian Decros - "Sun Tan Lines"; and Justin Hodges - "Mellow Fellow."
