SUMMARY:POSTPONES: CPG: Ben Epstein (DePaul)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Exploring Political Communication Strategies of Women’s Rights and LGBTQ+ Communities Over Time \n  \nAbstract: This study uses a mixed methods approach to explore the communication approaches of organizations advocating for greater political power\, access\, and representation for women and LGBTQ+ Americans over time. First\, I identify a diverse sample of organizations and publications advocating for greater political inclusion for women and LGBTQ+ Americans over the past two centuries\, with particular attention to those in the contemporary digital era. Next\, various print and digital communications efforts are analyzed\, applying a framework developed over a number of studies to compare the varied communication approaches of organizations advocating for marginalized communities. Finally\, content analysis is used to evaluate newspapers\, magazines\, social media posts and websites from these organizations and publications. Through these approaches I explore the rhetorical strategies and goals of political messages communicated by these groups by centering their words\, and find that while many notable changes have occurred\, much is remarkably consistent over time.

SUMMARY:Department Speaker Series: Megan Burkhardt-Reed (UCLA\, Communication)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The emergence of communication in infancy: Development and evolution \n  \nAbstract: \nDo gestures truly precede vocalization in modern human development and in the evolutionary origin of language? Or is vocalization more foundational for communication? Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in the evolutionary origins of language. Speculations on the evolution of language have evoked comparisons across human and non-human primate communication. However\, many argue that the origins of language relate closely to the origins of modern human infantbehavior. To the extent that the issue of language origins has been raised\, most recent published opinions exploring evolutionary possibilities have leaned toward a “gesture-first”hypothesis. But much empirical information does not accord with the gestural claims. \n\nIn this talk\, I will present findings from two of my longitudinal studies that systematically compare rates of gestural and vocal communication across the first two years of life. The findings from this research reveal that the bulk of activity in the first and second year of life are in the vocal domain rather than gestural\, suggesting a more foundational role of voice. I will propose a framework to allow comparable counting of communicative and/or potentially communicative events of both infant gesture and vocalization. To date\, clear definitions and criteria for classification have not been a major focus of empirical investigation on gesture and vocalization as language foundations in prior research. I will also outline my current study on understanding the ways older infants continue to babble and speak and the ways caregivers respond to these communications and then present some of the methodology for conducting this work. I will conclude with thoughts on the broader implications of my findings and future directions of my program of research.

SUMMARY:Natalie Kahn Talk\, Department Speaker Series: Muniba Saleem (UCSB\, Communication)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Media Representations and Their Broader Implications for Intergroup Relations \n  \nAbstract: This talk highlights the role of media as an ecosystem in cultivating societal divisions within multicultural contexts. Utilizing correlational\, experimental\, and longitudinal research methodologies\, I provide a comprehensive analysis of the nuanced effects on both racial majority and minority audiences. The findings reveal three broader implications of media depictions of racial minorities. First\, exposure to negative media portrayals of racial minorities adversely affects the attitudes and behaviors of racial majority members towards these groups. Second\, such negative depictions harm racial minorities’ self-esteem and group esteem\, while reinforcing their perceived disadvantaged status in mainstream society relative to other groups. Finally\, mainstream media representations undermine the sense of belonging\, inclusion\, and integration of racial minority members within mainstream society\, culture\, and politics.
