EVENT CANCELLED - A Conversation with Author and Journalist David Mark
SEE EVENT DETAILS
EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED, SORRY.
David Mark will discuss how political language is affecting the 2016 presidential race. White House candidates have already uttered a series of memorably phrases, including Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who has repeatedly touted his own "courage." Then there's Hillary Clinton's pledge to fight for "everyday Americans," a twist on the notion of the common man (and woman) invoked for decades by office-seekers of both parties. David, a seasoned political-watcher, will also evaluate the current state of the nomination fights.
David's latest book is Dog Whistles, Walk-Backs and Washington Handshakes: Decoding The Jargon Slang and Bluster of American Political Speech.
Venue: Freidenrich Conference Center, OFJCC, 3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto
