Abstract
Susan Jarratt's interests are ancient Greek and Roman rhetoric, and contemporary rhetoric and writing in universities and public contexts. She is at work on a book about the significance of space and the imperial relationship in ancient Greco-Roman rhetoric. Other work in progress includes a collaboration with Andrea Lunsford, Robert Hariman, LuMing Mao, and Jacqueline Jones Royster in editing the Norton Anthology of Rhetoric and Writing.

She served as Campus Writing Coordinator from 2001-07 and in that capacity has
done collaborative research on bilingual writers and undergraduate writing-across-the-curriculum.
