2008 Carroll Arnold Lecture: Philipsen captivating

By Will Wemer -- 11/21/08 I'm blogging from inside the Manchester Ballroom, where Gerry Philipsen has the audience captivated. As a scholar, I have read numerous papers of Philipsen's, and was very impressed with his grasp of the complexity of culture as it pertains to communication. But in seeing him speak, I am in awe, not only as a result of his vast knowledge, but his ability to verbalize these ideas on NCA's biggest stage is remarkable. I am excited to document the reactions to this address, and I hope they are as impressed as I am.
