In this powerful talk, Dr. Lisa Hanasono shares her personal experience with pregnancy loss. In doing so, she invites viewers to share their stories and end the silence and stigma surrounding miscarriage. Dr. Lisa Hanasono is an associate professor in the Department of Communication at Bowling Green State University (BGSU). Her research examines how people communicate and cope with stigma, prejudice, and discrimination. After experiencing an unexpected and traumatic miscarriage, Dr. Hanasono began to investigate how cultural, institutional, media, and interpersonal factors shroud pregnancy loss in secrecy and shame-and how people can use communication to bring these important societal issues into the public sphere. Recently, she was awarded a Fall 2018 fellowship from BGSU’s Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, which will allow her to pursue multiple research and civic engagement projects that explore how women, their loved ones, and communities can shatter the stigma and break the silence about pregnancy loss and miscarriage. As an educator with over 14 years of college teaching experience, Dr. Hanasono has taught a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses on topics including public speaking, interpersonal communication, and interviewing, race and communication, and research methods. She also enjoys mentoring students, serving on university committees that support issue related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and leading professional development workshops. Outside of academia, Dr. Hanasono enjoys spending time with her partner John, her teenage stepdaughter Lexi, her baby Sean, and her horse named Tater Tot. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
