University of Puget Sound About the Department Students majoring in Communication Studies examine the human, social, political, institutional, and mediated dimensions of human communication practices and processes. In every course in the program, students learn how these communication practices and processes construct and reconstruct meanings, enable and constrain social interaction, and interact with institutional structures and cultural, historical, and political forces. Students choosing a major in Communication Studies develop analytic and interpretative skills that enhance their capacity for critical thinking, intellectual curiosity about human communication, and proficiency in basic critical/interpretive and social science methods of communication research.

India TEDIndia: The Future Beckons Even the site of our conference is a powerful metaphor for the reshaped world of the 21st century. It's being held at the incredible high-tech campus built by Infosys to train its thousands of engineering graduates, representing the heart of the Asian outsourcing industry. We can think of no more appropriate place to gather to think about tomorrow. Details of the speaker program will be revealed approximately 2 months prior to the conference (as is always the case with TED events), but it’s already shaping up to be an extraordinary line-up. Speakers will include India’s most promising innovators, from entrepreneurs to artists, storytellers to scientists. Some of the questions we’re planning to tackle: Which local innovations are destined for global impact? Schedule: Wednesday, Nov. 4: Pre-conference tours; please see email confirmations for times.
Africa’NTI - How to Write a Successful Speaking Proposal I’ve just read (or in some cases skimmed) all 691 submissions that came in through our Web 2.0 New York call for participation. There’s some truly great stuff in there, and I feel a little like a Harvard admissions officer; we’ll accept fewer than 1 in 10 submissions, which means that there are literally hundreds of excellent talks that we will decline. I’m thrilled and amazed at the interest in the event, especially given the somewhat early deadline, but saying no to talented, engaged, and knowledgeable would-be speakers is no fun. I will say, however, that there were also a fair number of submissions that might have been good, but never made it past the first cut. A caveat: I don’t purport to speak for the entire conference industry here. My Top 5 Dos: Read examples. My Top 5 Don’ts: State the obvious.
