In my presentation for the upcoming virtual <strong><a href="https://www.natcom.org/convention-events/virtual-2020-convention">2020 <span class="il">National Communication Association's </span>Annual Convention</a></strong>, I will highlight key findings from one of my ongoing historical archival projects, focusing on the rhetoric of human sacrifice as represented in Early Bronze Age China oracle bone scripts (c.1250 BC - 1046 BC). It will be delivered at the v<a href="https://www.natcom.org/sites/default/files/annual-convention/Accessing%20Session%20Content%20%20FINAL.pdf">irtual paper session</a>, "GPS: Changing Routes in Rhetoric's History" sponsored by the <a href="https://ww4.aievolution.com/nca2001/index.cfm?do=ev.viewEv&amp;ev=10689">American Society for the History of Rhetoric</a> on November 1st, 2020.</p>
