In an era of deep partisanship and an increasingly fractured media environment, many have grown skeptical of the merits of presidential rhetoric. Why, some might ask, should we give credence to political officials who use their language to divide us, rather than unite us? And is it possible to demand something more? Allison M. Prasch, Associate Professor of Communication Arts, will explore these questions and argue that analyzing a president’s words can help us understand who we are and who we want to be. This presentation will draw on historical and contemporary examples to demonstrate the possibilities and perils of U.S. presidential discourse and to develop practical tools we can use to assess the rhetoric of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
