GEORGE LAKOFF SPEAKS THURSDAY

George Lakoff, a world renowned pioneer in linguistics and cognitive science, is co-founder of the Rockridge Institute and perhaps best known in political circles for his book, Thinking Points: Communicating our American Values and Vision, A Progressive’s Handbook (2006). He’s lectured at hundreds of meetings for Democratic Congressional groups, activists, pollsters, and ad agencies. He will be speaking on Thursday, February 28 at 7:30 pm at Wortham Center, Cullen Theater. The event is sponsored by The Progressive Forum, which is also bringing environmental writer and activist Bill McKibben to Houston on April 28. For tickets to either event, go to the Forum’s webiste.
