Political Communication, Congress, and the Presidency (Volume 11)

Political Communication, Congress, and the Presidency is the eleventh volume in the Year in C-SPAN Archives Research series, which examines contemporary US politics by focusing on the speeches and rhetoric of Congress, presidents, candidates, and political leaders. Utilizing research developed from the C-SPAN Video Library, interdisciplinary scholars from a wide range of disciplines explore the approaches, messages, and nuances of political rhetoric in US government. Topics include: Why do Republicans derisively refer to the Democratic Party? How does rhetoric differ based on gender? How have political social media and attitudes toward presidential impeachment evolved? Innovative social science research methods are employed to explore what we can learn from the vast, primary source videos aired on the C-SPAN television network and archived in the C-SPAN Video Library.
