Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

How is the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election affected by language and culture?
Experience and learn how anthropologists and linguists decipher political
messages, and examine the words, gestures, tone of voice, and unspoken
meanings that implicitly affect who we vote for, and why.

Talking Politics 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 Department of Anthropology and University of Colorado Boulder
Program in Culture, Language, and Social Practice (CLASP), this
interdisciplinary workshop series invites the public to experience and learn
how language and culture shape real-world political communication.

This online forum features a series of webinars and a closing colloquium. Each
Talking Politics webinar will feature demonstrations 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
conversation with invited guest discussants and members of the public. The
series will conclude in December with a final colloquium featuring all the
series’ speakers, moderated by Kira Hall, Professor of Linguistics and
Anthropology at University of Colorado Boulder and President of the Society
for Linguistic Anthropology.
 

Program Information: 

All events are online, and are free and open to the public. Register now to
