Expanding Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Welcome Our NYU Guest Blogger!

In an effort to make gnovis a space for consistent interdisciplinary conversation, we’ve hired a guest blogger from NYU’s Media, Culture, and Communication program — Jason Turcotte.

Jason has a background in political science and currently studies political rhetoric, propaganda and persuasive communication.
