Salvatore Alaimo is a friend of mine and faculty colleague at Grand Valley State University. He is in the College of Education and Community Innovation, whereas I am in the School of Communications. He recently started a podcast called “Tilting the Earth’s Praxis,” which is all about different aspects and influences on civil society.
I was joined by two alumni. Jason Manshum has both his bachelor’s and master’s degree from the School of Communications. He has worked in public affairs for companies in various industries, and has taught as an adjunct in my Advertising and Public Relations program. He currently is Principal at 45th Parallel Strategies LLC. Stephan Syzmanski is a more recent graduate who has worked in public relations in the political realm, including candidate campaigns and currently works as a program associate at the Great Lakes Political Academy.
We had a good and wide-ranging discussion about public relations, ethics, culture, media, politics and society. All of it relates to the central them of civics.
Rather than writing for this blog post, I’ll let you hear the audio. Listen on Spotify or look for the ‘Tilting the Earth’s Praxis’ podcast on your favorite podcast service.
