Course Title:

Rhetoric, Marketing and Democracy
MKTG 486, cross-listed with HONS 301-07/POLI300-01/ ENGl385 01
4 Hours Credit

Course Description:

Frustrated by how hard it is for people to talk with each other when their political opinions vary? Craving better political conversations with friends, family, strangers, and opponents? Us too! This course brings together Political Science, English, and Marketing to foster better political understanding and discussion. We describe the evolution of democratic ideals from ancient Greece to contemporary America. We learn empirical means to explore actual trends in political behavior. We study rhetorical concepts to more carefully judge the political claims made by others. Finally, we practice marketing strategies to engage in better political communication ourselves. Hands-on projects will help us implement what we learn outside of the classroom.

All majors and student levels are welcome. No prior knowledge of any of the fields is needed.
