Tuesday, March 26, 2024

Online
Faculty, Staff
During this 1.5 hour zoom presentation, attendees will look through the lens of culture to help advance their ability to communicate more effectively across culture, and in this case, by email! We will apply several cultural models/ theories and use them to understand where we might make improvements when we are using a written form of communication.
We will begin with a warm-up discussion, followed by examples of e-mail miscommunication. The presenters will share information on low-context vs. high-context cultures, equality and hierarchy, and direct vs. indirect communication styles. Attendees will engage in a break out session where they will read various e-mail scenarios and discuss the role of core cultural values.
Learning Outcomes - Participants will be able to:
- Gain a greater awareness of the role of cultural values in their written communication.
- Learn to consider core cultural values when communicating with others.
- Receive e-mail communication tips to help avoid miscommunication.
Presenter:
- Rachel Salinas (She/Her/Hers) Assistant Dean, Padnos College of Engineering and Computing
- Mary Upton, Associate Director for Scholars Services, IUPUI
