New Book: "Communicating Hope & Resilience..."

Happy to announce that Peter Lang has published my edited volume, co-edited with Dr. Tom Socha, "Communicating Hope & Resilience Across the Lifespan!"

As both an increasingly relevant value in human relationships and personal approach to modern living, "resilience" is commonly associated with toughness, survival, grit, and is used to describe things of increased worth and value (due to being "tested"). Happiness and commitment are great, but will our relationships, marriages, and lives stand the test of time? Furthermore, "hope" allows us move forward from setbacks, play for a desired future, and organize ourselves toward making the most of life.

The book pulls together great scholars from across the field, both established and "up and coming" to further the conversation within the communication field!

I'll be using this book in my Old Dominion University, COMM601: "Lifespan Communication" course this Fall! Check it out!
