Graduate students at the University of Chicago and University of Colorado
Boulder announce Talking Politics: Anthropologists and Linguists Analyze the
2020 Election, through December 11, 2020
 
Anthropologists and Linguists Analyze the 2020 Election brings together
anthropology and linguistics experts to share their distinctive analytic
perspectives on political communication in the 2020 U.S. Presidential
Election. Organized by graduate students in the University of Chicago's Center
for the Study of Communication and Society (CSCS) and Linguistic Anthropology
Lab in the Department of Anthropology and the University of Colorado Boulder's
Program in Culture, Language, and Social Practice (CLASP), this
interdisciplinary forum invites the public to experience and learn how
language and culture shape real-world politics.
 
Talking Politics will engage the public through a series of four workshops
featuring scholars from Stanford University, Brandeis University, the
University of California Los Angeles, the University of Michigan Ann Arbor,
and the University of Colorado. Workshops will be held throughout October and
November 2020, culminating in a final colloquium on December 11th.
 
Each workshop will feature a demonstration of the types of data and methods of
analysis that anthropologists and linguists use in studying political
communication. Each featured scholar will also engage in a participatory
conversation with invited guest discussants and members of the public. All
events are free and open to the public, and will be held via Zoom.
 
The final colloquium will gather all the forum speakers for a discussion
moderated by Kira Hall, Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics at the
University of Colorado Boulder and President of the Society for Linguistic
Anthropology. Audience members will also have the opportunity to ask their
questions about the role of language in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.
 
October 9, 6:00 pm (CST), Adam Hodges: “How Plausible is Deniability?”
October 20, 3:00 pm (CST), Michael Lempert: “Political Gesture in Presidential
Debate"
October 30, 5:00 pm (CST), Jonathan Rosa: "Communicating Crisis: Getting Back
to Whose Normal?"
November 16, 5:00 pm (CST), Janet McIntosh and Norma Mendoza-Denton: “Race and
