Network for Oratory and Politics

Description

Oratory has been and still is an intrinsic part of political life as a major medium through which to communicate ideas, share opinions, and advertise claims to political influence and power. From the ancient political cultures of Greece and Rome to modern political debates, the delivery of effective and convincing speeches has shaped and changed political agendas and decisions.

The aim of the Network for Oratory and Politics is to facilitate research into and discussion of political oratory across historical periods and regions in order to broaden up the study of political speech and reach out to non-academic communities. The network aims to connect academics with political practitioners of public speech such as politicians, speechwriters and the general public in an exchange of knowledge and ideas.
