Session Submission Type: Paper Session
This panel examines how Presidents from Gerald Ford to Barack Obama have dealt with the challenges of connecting environmentalism with good politics. Through textual analysis, each paper explores the impact a President’s rhetorical strategies have had on the environmental discussion. While each panelist will present on individual Presidents, we look forward for discussion and conversation exploring how past presidential rhetoric on the environment can bridge into the future.
