La Rhetórica is a space for critical conversation and joyful resistance.

Rooted in an AfroLatina perspective, this podcast centers the voices, experiences, and brilliance of women of color in rhetoric and composition. Hosted by Amanda Patterson Partin, La Rhetórica invites listeners to explore the deep intersections of identity, power, language, and pedagogy.

Each episode opens space for nuanced dialogue, unapologetic storytelling, and scholarly reflection. Together, we examine how race, gender, and culture shape our presence in academic and professional spaces, and we ask the questions that often go unspoken: What counts as knowledge? Who gets to be called a rhetor? How do we show up fully, without shrinking or code-switching away the truth?

La Rhetórica is more than a podcast. It is a space to learn, unlearn, remember, and imagine. Pull up a chair. Bring your whole self. Let’s get into it. ¡A bochinchar se ha dicho!
