Collaboration, Movement, and Meaning.

Before I started college, I never gave much thought to how we communicate through movement. Really, I never gave much thought to how we communicate. As I worked my way through my first four years of university, that became the central focus of all of my work. I sought out classes within my degree program and outside of it that approached the incredibly nuanced process of sharing meaning with other people.

My major was interpretation, where I learned American Sign Language (ASL) and the task of interpreting between it and English. I took Spanish classes, I took German classes, I took linguistics classes, I took anthropology classes, I took writing classes, and I took speech communication classes. In my graduate program I have taken rhetoric and writing classes, philosophy classes, and applied communication studies classes. I have studied many ways through which we communicate with movement. Turns out, there is somewhere I forgot to look.
