Speakers

Tyler Crick

Graduate Student, University of Waterloo Rhetoric and Communication Design Department

I'm interested in the rhetoric of internet discussion and information, social systems theory, and analyzing the global adjustment period to digital communication. As a goal, these interests would ideally contribute to social justice and well-being.
