The Dying Art of Public Speaking and Why It's Essential to Master It

Dela

Why does the fear of public speaking feel like the fear of death? In this conversation, Dustin Hall answers that and more. Despite public speaking's many challenges, young people today actually crave the civic engagement that public speaking affords; they want to develop empathy in live situations removed from their phones and their echo chambers. Public speaking, says Dustin, is always a "dialogue," even when speaking solo. How can we get better at it? This convo explains how. 

Dustin Hall is the Assistant Public Speaking Lab Coordinator at UF's Dial Center for Speech and Communication Studies, as well as adjunct faculty for the Department of Gender, Sexualities, and Women's Studies and a writing tutor at the University Writing Studio. To date, he's taught public speaking courses for six years and counting. Hall has a BA in Religious Studies (minor in Linguistics) from Youngstown State University and an MA in Hindu Traditions from UF.
