Erik Palmer – ASCD, 2024
Before you got into leadership, did you expect you'd be doing so much speaking?

It has become increasingly clear that we as communication center professionals must confront the deeply rooted linguistic assumptions and traditions that underlie notions of speaking well. In this essay, we argue that one place to start is to look closely how and why conceptions of speaking well have come to rest on an unquestioned ideal of what…

Oliveira, Alandeom W.; Brown, Adam O.; Carroll, Marissa; Blenkarn, Elizabeth; Austin, Bradley; Bretzlaff, Tiffany – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Educational efforts to promote effective oral science communication at the undergraduate level tend to reinforce strategies related to impression management. Students are taught tactics that can be used to create the impression of competent science communication without reflectively considering epistemological beliefs. Deeper aspects of oral…

Shannon D. Willoughby; Bryce Hughes; Leila Sterman – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2025
We developed and tested an NSF IGE-funded year-long program to improve the oral communication skills of STEM graduate students. By the end of the program, we organized our curricular materials into a 3C framework: "connect, convey," and "captivate." Within this framework, the Fellows learned rhetorical strategies, created…

Emily Roemer Britsch; Jana M. Iverson – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
In their first three years, children begin to maintain topics and add new information in conversation. In turn, caregivers create opportunities for language learning. Compared to children with no family history of autism (typical likelihood, TL), the younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at elevated likelihood (EL)…
