In other words, studying communication in times of change and through various contexts. Marisa was recently awarded a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship to participate in a group project in Taiwan where she will study public speaking norms and pedagogy in different cultures (now projected for June 2021). In Idaho, she helped create a pilot public speaking training course in conjunction with Jim Poston for the initial Boise Refugee Speaker’s Bureau, through the Idaho Office of Refugees (2015). This volunteer course helped provide refugees specialized training to aid them as they engage in public dialogue and advocacy. She continues to work with refugee families and agencies. Although she still claims Texas as “home,” and lived in Idaho for 15 years before coming to UAC, she is delighted to be living and teaching in Korea.
