Watch Daniel Polisar on “What Churchill Knew”

Shalem IN SHORT, a new series of mini-lectures of approximately five minutes, was designed to offer the college’s English-speaking community an opportunity to engage with the people and ideas that make for the unique Shalem experience. Provost Daniel Polisar, who teaches Shalem’s freshman seminar on rhetoric, explains in his video the secret to Winston Churchill’s oratorical brilliance. In short: a profound understanding of human nature.
