Phyllis: McGill doesn't actually have a graduate program in rhetoric or composition. We have a new M.Ed. in Literacy Studies and we can offer what's known as an ad hoc M.A. or Ph.D. in an education-related field of inquiry, which means that composition/rhetoric qualifies (Graham Smart is working on his Ph.D. here; it's a genre study). Other Ph.D. students are studying the composing processes of Native poets, personal journals written during the Holocaust, images of teachers in popular culture, and a wide variety of other topics. Although we can stretch the definition of "education-related" to cover quite a few areas of study, we cannot offer anything that could be called a Ph.D. in rhetoric/comp. Anthony
