Building Character(s) FIG Instructor and Assistant
FIG Instructor: Dean Mundy
Hi everyone! I’m Dean Mundy, and I’m an associate professor in the SOJC’s public relations major. Originally from North Carolina (Go Heels!), my husband and I moved here in 2014 (time flies). My research is twofold. I broadly look at how organizations convey values related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in their strategic communication practices (and yes, the current environment is, for lack of a better word, “fascinating” to study.) More specifically, I have looked at best practices regarding how LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations use strategic communication to forward their campaigns for equality. Prior to entering academia, I worked in the corporate world for about a decade, mostly for the Coca-Cola company, but also for Accenture Consulting and the now-defunct Nortel Networks.
More importantly, this is a recent picture of me eating fried pickles in Bend, Oregon. Fried pickles are important.
