University Lectures

Guest lecturer at many universities.

Elizabeth is a guest lecturer at universities across the country, teaching communication students the latest behavioral science and the ethics of the field they are entering. This is part of a broader role she has come to occupy: helping universities update their communication curricula for an era when affective neuroscience, AI mediation, and signal architecture have become as foundational to the discipline as media relations and message strategy once were.

Below are example lectures from one of those universities — Pepperdine — recorded in classroom settings. The audio is grainy. The thinking is not. She is the only practitioner currently mapping this intersection and is open to additional university teaching engagements.
