University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusive Climate committee is proud to spotlight the work of Dr. Jennifer Considine, professor and chair of the department of communication studies. Dr. Considine is a scholar of organizational communication whose research has investigated student learning about diversity, communication about spirituality during end of life care, and narratives of emotion in employment contexts. She teaches a variety of communication studies courses, including introduction to communication studies, introduction to organizational communication, organizational rhetoric, business and professional speaking, communication in nonprofit organizations, and the senior capstone. Dr. Considine also serves as the chair for the Interfaith Dialogue and Education Alliance (IDEA) at UW Oshkosh. IDEA provides the UW Oshkosh community with opportunities to learn about and engage in dialogue about worldview, particularly related to faith and non-faith traditions. The recent achievements of this committee include opening a quiet reflection space for use by the campus community in Dempsey 323, distributing an interfaith list of worship groups in the Oshkosh area, presentation of interfaith dialogue workshops on campus, and sponsoring Rohina Malik and Eboo Patel’s presentations. Look for IDEA’s upcoming event, “Moving Past Hate” which brings together the son of a victim of the Oak Creek Sikh temple shooting and a former white supremacist to discuss hate and forgiveness. This event is scheduled for Monday, April 8th, 2019 from 6-8 pm in the Reeve Union ballroom. Please join the EDIC committee in thanking Jennifer Considine for her work to achieve equity, support diversity, and build inclusive climates at UW Oshkosh.
