Bok Seminar - Engaging Audiences in Our Professional Stories
Date and Time
Location
Led by Pamela Pollock
What makes communication engaging? How do you tell your story as both a teacher and a scholar in your field? As a PhD student, you are called upon to present yourself and your ideas in various modes and media, for a variety of different audiences, and you have to be able to do it both remotely AND in person! In this seminar, you will practice the basics of crafting and delivering a talk, develop skills to make your communication compelling for different audiences, adapt your delivery to online and in-person situations, and practice handling questions and other impromptu speaking situations. You will gain experience telling your professional stories in-person and on Zoom, and we will analyze how our speech and the strategies we use change based on the medium. This seminar is designed for advanced PhD students who want to be more confident and engaging teachers, or prepare for conference presentations, job interviews, and job talks.
This is the first session of a 6-session seminar. Registration required.
Registration opens August 15.
