Dr. Aharon Zorea, Professor of History
University of Wisconsin–Platteville

In a world where people spend so much time online, communication practices have shifted, often becoming depersonalized and misinterpreted.  Learn a brief history of effective communication strategies and identify some basic elements to help your personal interactions. Dr. Zorea includes practical recommendations on how we can adapt our communication into better digital habits, with the goals of:

• Increasing our communication skills (generally);
• Developing strategies for discussing difficult topics in a civil manner; and
• Encourage a more constructive attitude for managing uncivil (or potentially hostile) interactions with others who strongly disagree.
