Dr. Joe Shorthouse: Academics as Entertainment

Dr. Joe Shorthouse, Professor Emeritus of Biology at Laurentian, presents “Academic Presentations as Entertainment on Cruise Ships” about his extraordinary North Atlantic journey, taking his passion for teaching to a global audience aboard the Celebrity cruise ship, the Silhouette.

Cruise ship companies around the world are looking for enrichment speakers with experience in explaining their area of expertise in an entertaining manner. This requires academics to adjust their approach to emphasize entertainment, rather than a university lecture style, in order to engage large audiences. 

Learn all about it Wednesday, November 18th, at 1:30 p.m. in the Alumni Hall!
