About the symposium

How does communication contribute to, and detract from, building healthier communities and a healthier democracy? Join twelve researchers and practitioners from across the U.S. to engage this pressing question during a full-day symposium. Addressing a range of topics including information flows, advocacy, and violence, sessions will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, students, patient advocates, and anyone interested in health and democracy. All events are free and open to the public.

This is the first event in a two-part symposium cohosted by the Edna Anderson-Taylor Communication Institute at the University of Utah and the Center for Sustainable Democracy at the University of South Florida, with support from the Carnegie Foundation.

When: Friday, October 23rd, 9:00-4:30

Where: Communication Institute, LNCO 2910
