Brendan O'Connor at World Affairs Council DC

Uploaded by worldaffairsdc on Jul 6, 2009
From the early 19th century onwards, American politicians and the American people have frequently been seen as culturally and intellectually inferior by outsiders. Should these claims be seen as anti-American stereotypes and prejudices or is there reasonable evidence to support such conclusions? First, Mr. OConnor will explore the historical origins of a set of powerful tropes and stereotypes that emerged describing the American people, their culture and their politics as insular, backward, uncouth, populist and anti-intellectual. Second, he will discuss the database of information he has collected on Americans knowledge of global affairs, foreign languages and geography and how this knowledge compares with that of other nations. Mr. OConnor hopes this historical and statistical analysis will provide the starting point for an informed and fruitful dialogue on this topic.
