Quiet Piggy: Private Codes as Public Discourse

The HRG is pleased to present Dr. Greg Kelly, the Executive Producer of the CBC Radio program, IDEAS and PhD in English, Oxford University, for a talk that considers the rise of authoritarianism alongside the deepening crisis of institutional authority as statements and gestures once off-limits in public have gained currency as a form of “authenticity.” Kelly will explore these changes and ways we can begin to decouple authoritative discourse from authoritarian bombast.

January 29, 5:00PM
Main Campus, Hatch Theatre, Jackman Dramatic Art Centre
This is a free event, open to the public.
