From the ISF email newsletter: The College of Letters & Science and The R. Lowry Dobson Lecture Presents George Lakoff, Professor of Linguistics The Mind and Politics: What Cognitive Linguistics Contributes to an Understanding of Politics Thursday, March 17 @ 6 pm Sibley Auditorium, Bechtel Center George Lakoff is the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, and is a founding senior fellow at the Rockridge Institute. He is one of the world's best known linguists. Since the mid-80s he has been applying cognitive linguistics to the study of politics, especially the framing of public political debate. Professor Lakoff's recently released book is titled Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate--The Essential Guide for Progressives; he is also the author of the influential book Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think. Free admission and open to the public For more information, please contact L&S College Relations at 510.643.1964 I won't be there because I'm not interested in George Lakoff, and I'll probably be toiling away at my thesis that night, but I can think of at least one handsome Italian who would be interested.
