Hi everyone, I'm researching the social construction of argumentation in the current debates over global warming and climate change. I'm wondering whether anyone could point me towards work in Writing Studies or elsewhere that's looked at how arguments are socially constructed and deployed by collectives (i.e., organizations, institutions, 'discourse coalitions') as opposed to individuals? (I'm going to post this query to the CATTW listserv as well, so I'm sorry if you get this message twice.)
