Resilience Strategies in the Face of Threat 

We’re excited to announce the incredible lineup of speakers for our upcoming Virtual Learning Opportunity (VLO) on Friday, June 27 at 3-4:30 p.m. EDT! This VLO will feature expert insights from both seasoned and fresh communication scholars interested in arming educators with practical tools and strategies to maintain their commitment to IDEA in safe and effective ways: 

• Katherine Thweatt, SUNY Oswego (Moderator)
• Michael Lechuga, The University of New Mexico 
• Shauntae Brown White, North Carolina Central University 
• Angela Kariotis, Brookdale Community College 

In this VLO, registrants will learn how to create an inclusive classroom environment in the current political climate, understand the relationship between risks to individuals and risks to institutions, and about strategies for promoting public pedagogy in an era of misinformation.
