Current Projects
While I recently have been focused on transitioning to online public communication pedagogy, I am also invested in providing opportunities for USC students to implement and display their public speaking skills beyond the classroom in traditional, face-to-face contexts. To that end, I am co-chairing along with my colleague, Jason Williamson, a 2018-19 USC Speech Competition Planning Committee. We look forward to seeing our students demonstrate their skillsets this spring on a bigger stage than regular classroom practice provides.
