Campaign 2012 and Gender, Race, Religion, and Class

Gender, race, religion and class: all the things you’re not to discuss at the dinner table.

Break the rules and join communication and rhetoric professors Patricia Sullivan and Lynn Turner, authors of From the Margins to the Center: Contemporary Women and Political Communication, for a talk and roundtable lunch conversation on the impact of these issues in the 2012 presidential campaign. How will race, religion and class play out as the first black president faces a wealthy Mormon challenger? How will issues around women and their reproductive rights be addressed by the candidates?

This program includes a round-table lunch discussion with the speakers immediately following the talk.
