Join CCJC Director Allison Agsten and former USC Provost Charles Zukoski for a two unit, one week immersive science communication Maymester. This class, just added to the academic schedule, will take students across the city to learn from noted scientists and communicators, offering an unmatched experience to interact with leaders in a small group and visit unique sites in Los Angeles.
ASCJ 420 – Annenberg Collaboratory
Our society relies on complex technologies that often outpace public understanding, creating risks both for the adoption of lifesaving innovations and the unchecked deployment of disruptive ones. This course addresses those gaps by equipping scientists, technologists, managers, and communicators with the background needed for clear, productive dialogue with each other and with the public. Through this program, an interdisciplinary cohort of students will have the opportunity to learn about real-world challenges of internal and external communication, and crucially, how to navigate those challenges with a focus on technologies. Onsite meetings and experiences with leaders in areas such as nuclear energy, aerospace, and biomedicine ground these discussions in emerging technological domains.
