Book excerpt: Rhetorical Ecologies works not to simply recount the history of writing and rhetoric studies' adoption of ecology but to situate that history in rich discussions regarding the potential ecology holds for rhetoric and writing studies moving forward, fostering more inclusive, equitable, and justice-oriented approaches to rhetorical inquiry. Rhetorical Ecologies does not seek to outline a complete map of rhetorical ecologies as a unified concept. Rather, we are interested in ecologies plural, understanding and acknowledging that rhetoric's ecologies are multiple, divergent, and highly situated knowledge-making practices.
