Rhetoric and Persuasion
David Gruber started his career focusing on the communication of neuroscience and why people found images of the brain so persuasive. He has since written several pieces on how neuroscience can expand the rhetorical tradition. In a recent 'Forum' for Rhetoric Society Quarterly, he presents the idea of an 'ontological neurorhetoric' that uses mixed methods and interdisciplinary engagement to better understand the embodied contexts of neuroscience studies. Gruber also developed 'affective constitutive rhetoric', and has more recently discussed the need to question and revise Burke's notion of 'rhetorical identification' (here). He is currently co-editing a book on the topic with Dr. Jason Kalin.
