[Patti Dunmire]

Hello. My name is Patti Dunmire and I teach rhetoric and discourse analysis
in the Literacy, Rhetoric, and Social Practice doctoral major at Kent State
University.  My primary research area is political discourse, which I
examine via critical linguistics and critical discourse analysis methods.

I am currently working on a project that examines the ways in which
representations of the future are articulated in and through political
discourse.  I would appreciate any help folks are able to provide
concerning other studies that present rhetorical, linguistic, and/or
discourse analysis of representations of the future.  I am also looking for
work that discusses the role of representations of the future in political
discourse, or any other discourse genre or context.

Thank you,
Patti
