Keynote Speeches

Prof. Thomas G. Endres

Storytelling is an important part of the human experience. Dr. Endres

shares with us stories of his growth as a person, as an educator, and as a

media and communication scholar. In particular, he will share interviews

and photographs of his photo-ethnographic book “Sturgis Stories:

Celebrating the People of the World’s Largest Motorcycle Rally.” In

sharing these stories, Endres will encourage the audience – journalists

and educators alike – to collect and listen to the stories of those around

them, and to value and share those images and narratives in our personal

and professional endeavors.

Assoc. Prof. Dale Edwards

The keynote address will examine how technological advances have

both enhanced the ability to communicate internationally and altered

the politics of international communication as governments wrangle

with that enhanced capability. The address will briefly discuss the

history of technological development and how it affected political

reality and examine some current trends and how they do and yet will

affect attempts to govern effectively.
