The Speech Communication program will host a Research Colloquium with a presentation by Dr. Robert Danisch.
Over a century ago John Dewey argued that democracy was a way of life and not just a system of government. That insight remains one of the more enduring and vital intellectual contributions made by American pragmatism. This talk takes that insight and tries to sketch a model of communication that might promote democracy as a way of life. Any such model needs to rely on the value of artistry and a commitment to inquiry. In this presentation, I’ll try to show that combining communicative artistry with communicative inquiry can improve democracy as a way of life.
All faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend.
