Consider This: American Myths About American Government with Edwin Batistella

Join Edwin Batistella to discuss how cultural ideas about the presidency, voting, and other elements of American government both reflect and distort the reality of those institutions.

Edwin Battistella teaches linguistics and writing at Southern Oregon University. He has a PhD in linguistics from the City University of New York and is the author, most recently, of Dangerous Crooked Scoundrels: Insulting the President, from Washington to Trump (Oxford University Press, 2020.) and Sorry About That: The Language of Public Apology (Oxford University Press, 2014).

This programming is made possible thanks to the support of Oregon Humanities, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Oregon Cultural Trust, The Standard, and Stoel Rives LLP.
