This collection resists the phrase’s dismissiveness and instead reclaims rhetoric as a vital tool for engaging the most pressing issues of our time. Across three thematic sections—rhetorical theory and praxis, media and technology, and movements and communities—contributors demonstrate how rhetorical study illuminates and intervenes in questions of justice, equity, and collective life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe essays traverse global traditions and contemporary contexts, examining African and Islamic rhetorical histories, disability and accessibility, climate change, digital activism, archival recovery, and community-based movements. Contributors attend to the rhetorical dimensions of Black Lives Matter, environmental justice, Indigenous and decolonial practices, and LGBTQ+ advocacy, while also exploring classrooms, writing centers, and digital spaces as sites of rhetorical action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTaken together, these essays present rhetoric as more than critique: it is a creative, analytical, and ethical practice capable of shaping publics, challenging injustice, and imagining new futures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJust Rhetoric\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offers readers a curated snapshot of current work in the field—work that insists rhetoric has never been “just” anything, but is instead central to how we understand, contest, and remake the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContributors include Maha Baddar, James P.
