Welcome to Annenberg Conversations, a new podcast series where host Sarah Banet-Weiser, Dean of Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania examines the vital and pressing issues in the field of communication studies with leading Annenberg scholars. In each episode, we will delve into the latest research, trends, and debates shaping the world of communication. From polarization in presidential elections to how popular feminism in TikTok is changing how we understand feminism, from communicating effectively around a range of health-related issues, to understanding climate change, our conversations hope to provide a deeper understanding of the forces that influence how we connect and communicate.
