Pizza & Politics
It began as many college traditions do—with a group of students and faculty, a common passion, and of course, pizza. This is how the Department of Communication Studies founded Pizza & Politics (P&P), a series of weekly meetings that starts with discussing current events and ends with sharing a slice.
Originating in 1986, P&P has drawn regulars from the Emerson community and beyond. Every Tuesday, students, faculty members, trustees, professionals, alumni and more meet at 12:00 pm, to analyze a selected topic.
“[Pizza & Politics] is one of the few spaces where people disagree, but they also respect each other,” says Dr. Gregory Payne, chair and associate professor of Communication Studies, who had a piece of that first pie in 1986. “So that’s what is exciting because, as the Department of Communication Studies, it’s good, especially in such divisive times, to foster communication.”
