Political Rhetoric: The Presidential Campaign and Beyond

Dialogues in Languages and Humanities is a new initiative from the Center for Applied Liberal Arts, the American Language Institute, and the International Student Support Center–three departments at the NYU School of Professional Studies. The Dialogues mission is to host events that engage the NYU community and the public in provocative conversations on timely and meaningful topics that link the liberal arts, language, and international education.

Political Rhetoric: The Presidential Campaign and Beyond

From the current US presidential election to the United Kingdom’s historic Brexit vote, political rhetoric has the power to build communities and create rifts in society–with lasting global repercussions. As the rhetoric of politics continues to escalate, both in the U.S. and abroad, join us in taking a step back to consider what the words and language used by politicians and the news media reveals about the political landscape.

Panelists:
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, NYU professor and frequent CNN contributor
Jason Stanley, Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University
Ben Zimmer, language columnist for The Wall Street Journal
