TEDxTexasStateUniversity
• October 2017
In this presentation, Susannah Bannon uses communication theory to illustrate the ways that overly-efficient communication can negatively impact us. At a time when the nation and our communities feel most divided, Susannah explores the influence of labels on everyday interactions, asking her audience to consider what happens when we look beyond “trigger” labels and seek connections with members of our communities who we might not typically. Speaker correction: the statistic used in the talk (3/5) should be 1/3.
