Scholars from around the world will convene at Duquesne University to address some of the ethical issues surrounding communication in a world filled with technology.
“Issues of communication are central to the discipline of communication and to what it means to be a good citizen in today’s society,” said Dr. Erik Garrett, assistant professor in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies, which is sponsoring the conference.
