"Debate Camp" & "Game On": A Viewing & Discussion of Two Episodes of The West Wing

HUMANITIES SYMPOSIUM

Dr. Bonnie Smith and University Media Writer April Hefner (M.A. '07) will lead a discussion of two episodes of The West Wing that focus on preparing for a presidential debate. We'll view "Debate Camp" and "Game On" (originally aired in October 2002) and discuss the importance of language in political discourse, especially the "10-word answer" and the problematic prevalance of bumper sticker politics.
