Sabbatical Leave Proposal
Abstract
My plan is to pursue the following course of study in order to gain professional enrichment:
1) I will identify, read and listen to a broad range of public speeches that have been presented during the past ten years and that are from culturally diverse speakers and focus on significant issues.
2) I will attend public forums at the U of I, ISU, EIU and community events (civic and church) throughout Champaign-Urbana which include speakers and topics of cultural diversity.
3) I will study political, sociological, and rhetorical criticism and commentary of culturally diverse speakers and issues in order to renew my awareness and grasp of the communication factors that shape our lives, our times, and our futures.
This paper has been withdrawn.
