CulturCONNECT 2023 Lecture (Dept of Comm.)

CultureCONNECT, Department of Communication, annual lecture

The the Department of Communication's CultureCONNECT 2023 lecture on September 13, in Parmer Cinema, at 7:00 pm, with Dr. Katie R. Place, professor and strategic communication expert at Quinnipiac University. Dr. Place's lecture on "Ethical Listening for Communications, Business, and Beyond" looks at how listening in public communication contexts has historically engaged in an 80:20 ratio of speaking versus listening, where listening has been done to promote marketing needs, provide competitive data, or identify methods to sell products. Research and practice must better identify values that promote the ethical pursuit of listening to establish healthy, equitable dialogue and more ethical representation of social equity and morale among organizational publics. Dr. Place will discuss her recent research findings on ethical listening and ethical management of the organizational listening process. A reception in Howe Atrium will immediately follow the lecture.
