A practitioner advancing the questions

Connect emerging science
with professional responsibility.

How do people make meaning? What makes influence ethical? How should professionals direct and evaluate AI?

Elizabeth regularly guest lectures and teaches at universities, bringing 25 years of communication leadership together with her original affective communication frameworks and practical AI teaching.

Her university sessions help learners connect research, human agency, and the decisions they will make in communication, public relations, leadership, and AI-supported work.

Programs can take the form of a guest lecture, applied workshop, faculty or staff learning session, or a moderated conversation, with scope shaped to your course, audience, and learning goals.
