NATASHA SEEGERT

Dr. Seegert's research and teaching focus on visual rhetoric with an emphasis on environmental communication and popular representations of the environment in new media. She currently teaches courses on dialogue and conflict, argumentation, community engagement, and environmental communication. In her work on dialogue and conflict, she cultivates curiosity and complexity as an antidote to uninformed certainty and toxic caricatures which dominate public discourse. In the process, she tries to provide a pathway for individuals to regain their sense of humility and increase their resilience to polarization.
