Underlying concepts
As I’m thinking through and developing the research, these are concepts that are in the background.
- I struggle regularly with figuring out what to say. “About waiting with someone.“
- Kairos (Plato) – the idea of knowing timing. I wrote about it in “A little more on timing.”
- Expressive writing – it’s a therapy tool, writing about emotional upheaval. – “Expressive writing.“
- Rhetorical situation
- Systems of rhetoric – I’ve been thinking about speaking for a long time. (My dissertation)
- Dual Process Model
- Deathbed Speech Class
