Fall 2024 Series: More Than Words
Every day we interact with the world and connect with each other in ways that are often changing and increasingly complicated. Meaning is created, shared, received and utilized in a myriad of traditional as well as evolving communication methods, many of which unlock new opportunities and provide insights previously unknown. In this series, we seek to examine some communication practices across a wide range of areas and applications, such as
- the impact of social media,
- communications in the natural world,
- online discourse and personal security,
- the use of generative AI to explore historical mysteries,
- culture wars and the news media,
- the use of visual media to determine truth, and
- the power of non-written and Indigenous oral traditions.
This series will be held on Tuesdays, 1:30-3:00 pm, October 15 to December 3 in a hybrid format, both in person at RIM Park and via Zoom.
