Title: Just Words: Lessons of Ancient Education, Classical Rhetoric, and Pagan Religion for a Post-Christian World
Presenter: Mark A. E. Williams, PhD, University of California-Sacramento
Date/Time: October 24, 6-7 pm EST
Description: Williams’ provocative book, Just Words, forwards an original critique of the present scope of communication history and theory, highlighting the relevance of both to this contemporary moment of cultural tension and deconstructed authority. Rooted in—but reaching beyond—the past, Just Words invites us to consider the possibility that our postmodern world is making exactly the same mistakes we (justly) condemn in the modern world, and it offers a vision of theory that addresses rather than duplicates that error.
