21st Century Corps of Discovery Lecture
A prolific scholar and expert in political communication, William Benoit examines political messages in advertisements, debates and speeches and studies what they accomplish. He is one of the top two most published scholars in his field. Other researchers have cited Dr. Benoit’s articles and books more than 750 times, and his work has been noted frequently in the popular press. Dr. Benoit’s research is even more relevant given the recent historic election that put America’s first African-American president in office. Reception to follow.
