Liverpool University are delighted to host the annual PSA Conservatives and Conservatism Special Group event this year. As it is election year in the US, ‘Republican Orators from Eisenhower to Trump’ is a timely reassessment of conservative rhetoric over the course of recent history.
The project evaluates how leading Republicans communicate their message to the American electorate. Each paper revolves its analysis around the core political arenas – the Senate, media and/or public engagements, and the party conventions. As an academic framework the Aristotelean modes of persuasion (character/credibility; use of logic; employment of emotions) are adopted asymmetrically, reflecting the distinctive and conflicting styles of communication between each figure under examination.
