Abstract Details

2004, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Communication.
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the rhetoric of the Miami University worker’s social movement in response to the administration of Miami University. Using the work of Stewart, Smith and Denton (2001) regarding the persuasion of social movements, this analysis argues that living wage campaigns represent significant rhetorical artifacts to be analyzed as social movements and that social movement theory is a useful tool for studying the rhetoric of living wage campaigns on college and university campuses. Additionally, this analysis suggests implications for the theory of Stewart, Smith and Denton, as well as implications for the study of university living wage campaigns.
