Lab Talk #4 - "Let's Get 'Woke'!" with Prof. Silvia Ravazzani
Welcome to The CommUnity Lab! The knowledge transfer podcast where we dive deep into the fascinating world of professional communication research and its application! Hosted by Danny (Daniel Wolfgruber), this series brings together leading scholars to explore how communication shapes workplaces, relationships, and society at large.
In each episode, we break down communication research and real-world insights, making them accessible and relevant for communication professionals, leaders, fellow scholars and students, and anyone curious about the magic of communication.
Today’s guest is Prof. Silvia Ravazzani from IULM University in Milan, Italy. We are talking about her research on the role of communication in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) management and the importance of a well-crafted DEI communication strategy to bring a truly inclusive work environment to fruition.
