As Lecturer of Speech in the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric at Dartmouth College, I have joined an ongoing conversation about speech that spans disciplines. This article takes a step back from looking at communication across the curriculum as a program and instead looks at one of the earliest stages of the process — conversations about speech with the disciplines. Exploring our meta-communication — our speaking with the disciplines about speech — highlights some of the discoveries we have made about speech through our conversations.
