Randal Marlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Randal Marlin is a philosophy professor at Carleton University who specializes in the study of propaganda. He was educated at Princeton University, McGill University, the University of Oxford, and the University of Toronto. After receiving a Department of National Defense fellowship to study under propaganda scholar Jacques Ellul at Bordeaux in the early 1980s, he started a philosophy and mass communications class at Carleton called "Truth and Propaganda," which has run annually since then.
The text for this class is his book, Propaganda and the Ethics of Persausion, which looks at definitional, historical, ethical, and jurisprudential issues relating to propaganda.
His studies and teaching in this field have led him to be nicknamed "Ottawa's Orwell".[1]
