, arguing that the then-new administration would be harmful to Americans’ health for two reasons—by representing disinvestment in the resources that shape health and by sowing a language of division that would rend the fabric of trust that we need to create a healthier world. I was not alone in these concerns, and subsequent years have shown that they were not without cause.
I begin by crediting a colleague and friend whom I admire very much, Dean Harvey Young, who leads the Boston University College of Fine Arts. In a recent conversation, Harvey used the term “a rhetoric of distrust” and pointed to examples such as the words used to sow conspiracy theories about vaccines and words used to create policies that callously leave many behind through the use of rhetoric that dehumanizes the “other.” I thought this formulation was compelling, distressingly so.
First, we want language that does not distance. That means never using “us vs. them” language but rather aiming to use language that leans into “us,” reflecting our collective investment in building a better world. There is a line from the novelare conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention if only one can first conceive of doing so.
