SUMMARY:'Communicating across Differences: Insights from Buddhists in Thail
 and'
DESCRIPTION:The Global Studies Seminar presents “Communicating across Dif
 ferences: Insights from Buddhists in Thailand” by Denison University’s
  Visiting Assistant Professor of Communication Craig Pinkerton.\n\nHow do 
 we communicate across our differences and engage in difficult conversation
 s on issues that matter to our shared social and political world? Drawing 
 from my book Buddhist Public Advocacy and Activism in Thailand: A Rhetoric
  of Dignity and Duty (2024\, Palgrave Macmillan)\, Pinkerton will discuss 
 how Buddhists communicate and navigate conflicts in public culture. Pinker
 ton will share key insights from my interviews with monastic and lay Buddh
 ists in Thailand and discuss the implications of various rhetorical strate
 gies he observed. Through these case studies of Buddhist-inspired communic
 ation practices\, he will explore how the insights of this research can in
 form broader efforts to bridge divides and cultivate dialogue in diverse g
 lobal contexts.\n\nPinkerton is an educator and researcher of communicatio
 n with an emphasis in rhetoric\, public culture\, and qualitative methods 
 combined with interdisciplinary inquiry in Southeast Asian Studies and Bud
 dhist Studies. He has won over fifteen academic awards and honors\, includ
 ing the prestigious Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship (FLAS) fo
 r the study of Thai language. Since 2007\, he has taught over 20 courses o
 n a wide variety of subjects on communication\, including public speaking 
 and presentation communication\, argumentation\, rhetoric\, public advocac
 y and activism\, marketing and public relations\, organizational developme
 nt\, interpersonal conflict management\, and the dark side of media. From 
 2011 to 2015\, he lived in Thailand teaching communication and researching
  Buddhist public advocacy and activism. Pinkerton received his Doctor of P
 hilosophy from Ohio University.\n\nFor more information\, please contact A
