Join the NYU SPS Division of Language and Humanities on October 19th for this special panel on political rhetoric. 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 that have lasting global repercussions. As political rhetoric continues to escalate, both in the U.S. and abroad, join us in taking a step back to consider how politicians and the media use words and language to shape our perceptions of society.
Panelists
★ Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Professor of History at New York University
★ Jason Stanley, Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University
★ Ben Zimmer, Language Columnistfor The Wall Street Journal
