"Argue Like an Ancient Greek" - Talk by Stacy Korbelak, professor of English
Sponsored by Ken and Linda Solow
Whether you find yourself trying to persuade a Facebook friend, a local politician, or your supervisor, using Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion from the 4th century BC is still a good place to start. In this divisive age, it’s important to utilize Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion strategically and avoid our own argument blind spots whenever we advocate for what we believe or need. Learn about your own AQ (argument quotient) and how to effect change.
