What happens when a college classroom becomes the beginning of a much larger conversation? In this episode of Queerstories of Recovery: Voices from the Margin, Dr. Danielle Bacibianco welcomes former students to revisit questions that extend beyond academia and into lived experience. Together, they examine addiction recovery through the lens of rhetorical theory, exploring how stories of recovery are shaped by language, power, identity, institutions, and culture. Drawing from classical rhetoric alongside feminist, queer, and poststructural scholarship, the conversation considers how recovery narratives are constructed, whose voices are amplified, and how marginalized communities challenge dominant understandings of sobriety, truth, and belonging. The result is a thoughtful discussion that demonstrates how critical inquiry can move beyond the classroom to foster dialogue, community, and more inclusive ways of understanding recovery.
