Hi everyone,

This Friday we’ll have two presentations, one scheduled, one surprise presentation. First, we’ll have Imrat Verhoeven, who will present a conference paper co-authored with Tamara Metze. The paper explores the use of emotions in politicians’ rhetoric, specifically concerning the earthquakes in Groningen. Then we’ll have Rasmus Skytte from Aarhus University. He will present his work on the effects of uncivil elite rhetoric.

We will meet from 3 to 5, in the Common Room (that’s REC B9.22).

After the talks, we’ll have drinks. Looking forward to see you again.

Kind regards,

Dr. Gijs Schumacher
