Communicating technical topics, whether in a classroom setting, a political setting, a social setting or even a technical setting with people who are not directly in one’s field, presents many challenges. Different regions, professions, and specializations use different constructs for the same ideas.  Neglecting to acknowledge these differences as communicators creates divisions and misunderstandings leading to undesirable outcomes.  This workshop will focus on practical tips for finding common ground when communicating with varied audiences.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Chemistry department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields.

Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.
