Gendered Communication in Academe: Understanding the Gap – Valuing the Differences

Susan S. Case

Susan S. Case, Ph.D., of the Department of Organizational Behavior presented the faculty development workshop "Gendered Communication in Academe: Understanding the Gap – Valuing the Differences" on Friday, February 17, 2006 in the 1914 Lounge in Thwing Center. This interactive presentation helped participants recognize the differences and patterns in the ways women and men typically communicate in organizations and how these differences often lead to miscommunication. Participants examined the reasons for these entrenched differences, why they matter, and how they impact meetings and decision-making within the university environment. They left with ideas for closing the gender gap as well as an increased ability to identify the contributions of women's communication patterns to emerging organizational realities.
