Topos Around the World
Topos is going global. Co-founder Joe Grady, an internationally recognized expert on metaphor, just returned from a lecture tour in Japan, including a presentation on metaphor and the public interest at Keio University, a lecture on scientific explanation at a food systems workshop at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, and an address on crosslinguistic (“primary”) metaphor patterns at Kobe University.
And on another continent, Senior Fellow Margy Waller was in Cape Town speaking at the international conference convened by the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) about reframing poverty policy and research.
