Connections: Noam Chomsky

We open the hour with a conversation with Noam Chomsky, the scientist, linguist, philosopher, and social critic. Chomsky will have events later this week at the University of Rochester and The Little Theatre.*

Then we talk to University staff and students about the Chomsky visit. Our guests:

  • Ted Brown, professor of history, medical humanities, and public health and policy at the University of Rochester
  • Jeff Runner, professor and chair of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Rochester
  • Jesse Bernstein, class of 2018

*Please note: The event at The Little Theatre is sold out.
