Persuasion is ubiquitous. Everything in our contexts has the potential to sway our thoughts and behaviours. Manipulation can happen on smaller and larger scales, and can affect all of us. So how does persuasion work? What's going on? How are minds hijacked? This talk on the art of persuasion (rhetoric) was recorded on 3 June 2016, and references the following writers: Aristotle (Rhetoric), Kenneth Burke (The Rhetoric of Motives), and Paul Offit (Do You Believe in Magic? The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine).

Measles are the newest attraction at Disneyland this season, and unfortunately the only thing magical about them is how quickly they’ve begun to spread throughout California and Arizona. Although measles were eliminated in the U.S. by 2000, the misinformation of the anti-vaccine movement has caused a return of a full-fledged outbreak.   Here to discuss the severity of the problem is Paul Offit. He is a Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases and the Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children Hospital of Philadelphia. Offit is the author of the bookDo You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine, for which he won the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry’s 2013 Balles Prize in Critical Thinking.
