Learn the dynamics of persuasion, including important source, receiver and message components while also exploring the effects of persuasive communication on receivers’ attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviors.
Based on Dr. Hunts’s new book, co- authored with colleague Keven R. Meyer, Hunt will address new media, engaged citizenship and deconstructing messages in a post-truth world to deepen attendees’ understanding of persuasion.
Themes will include the application of contemporary persuasion theory and research to the post-truth era, the influence of new media on persuasive communication and how to use persuasion to become civically engaged and advance the common good.
