This web site was built as a place for students in Amy Goodloe's Spring 2010 WRTG 3020 classes at CU Boulder to publish their persuasive essays. I've since created a network of web sites for that purpose off of my domain name: gendersex.net. Please visit that site to learn more about the Rhetoric of Gender and Sexuality, which is my WRTG 3020 topic.
