Join us on March 27 in the Weisman Room for a joint Community Conversation with Dr. Andreas Musolff, Emeritus Professor of Intercultural Communication at the University of East Anglia. Musolff will be discussing conspiracy theories in Nazi and Neo-Nazi discourse and how to counter them using tools from cognitive linguistics. This event is sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council, Institute for Holocaust Education, UNL Harris Center for Judaic Studies, UNL Research, and UNL Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education. Andreas Musolff graduated from Düsseldorf University in 1983 and received his PhD in German Linguistics in 1989. He also worked for 18 months at a School for Disabled Children. He has since taught at universities in Germany and the United Kingdom and has held visiting professorships also in Israel, Spain, and the Netherlands. He is now Professor emeritus of Intercultural Communication at the University of East Anglia in Norwich (UK). He has published widely on Intercultural and Multicultural communication, Metaphor Studies, and Public Discourse Analysis; his book publications include the monographs National Conceptualisations of the Body Politic, Political Metaphor Analysis, Metaphor, Nation and the Holocaust, Metaphor and Political Discourse, and 11 co-edited volumes. He is currently preparing a monograph on Cognition and Conspiracy Theory, to come out with CUP by the end of this year, and a co-edited volume on Healthcare, Language and Inclusivity, with Routledge.
