Whether you’re hosting a forum, teaching a guest lecture, or giving a conference paper, this workshop will prepare you to give or facilitate public presentations. Theatre technician Emma Alderman will orient you to a variety of microphones and projection devices; communication prof Jordana Cox will offer techniques for using your breath and voice. We will save plenty of time for discussion and troubleshooting, focusing on issues that affect womxn and nonbinary folx in academic spaces. Opportunities to practice public speaking will be optional, not required. Meet in Modern Languages 135 (backstage entrance to Theatre of the Arts).

All womxn and nonbinary grad students, post-docs, staff, and faculty affiliated with UW are welcome to participate.
