Presenting in Public: Writing and Performing for Professional Contexts

• • This subject will equip students with the practical and theoretical skills necessary to give presentations in professional contexts. It encourages students to reflect on the ethical and critical development of persuasive techniques in professional writing and presentation, and it fosters critical analysis of their own work and the work of others. Students are encouraged to work collaboratively in professional contexts and engage with a variety of audiences.

How do you make others sit up and listen to your voice, ideas, pitches, arguments? What does it mean to be an ethical orator, an engaging performer, and an informed and sensitive speaker? In this subject, you prepare, write, and perform presentations sensitive to purpose, audience, and context. In writing and performance workshops, you learn a range of rhetorical practices to conceive and compose powerful texts, and you rehearse and hone performative techniques to bring texts alive for diverse audiences.
