Proving, pleasing and persuading: why ancient rhetoric still matters

In a world full of political communication yet starved of proper political debate, a return to the ancient rhetorical principles for producing passionate and persuasive speeches provides a plausible solution. But is our understanding of ancient rhetoric correct, and what does rhetoric mean today?

Inaugural lectures are a landmark in academic life, held on the appointment of new professorships. Join us to learn more about the work of Dr Henriette van der Blom.

The lecture will be from 18:00 to 19:00, followed by a drinks reception.
