  • Inaugural lecture

    Rhetoric and cognition in the information age

    March 1, 2023

    Recent technological developments have led to a change in the way we communicate and argue with each other. In his inaugural lecture, Wagemans discusses how these changes in our communicative and cognitive environment can be mapped using innovative research methods. Wagemans illustrates the applicability of insights from classical rhetoric for combating misinformation. He also pays attention to research into the way in which people try to convince each other on online discussion platforms, rhetorical patterns in the brain, and the argumentative qualities of persuasive texts generated using LLMs such as ChatGPT.

    The recordings of this inaugural lecture can be viewed here.
