In this episode, Professor Edmund Lee interviews his former mentor, Professor K. Viswanath, on his life’s work in health communication research. Viswanath reflects on how communication evolved over the years from a divided discipline between critical communication scholars and social science researchers to an interdisciplinary and mixed methods research field. He also discusses his mentors, Phil Tichenor, George Donohue, and Clarice Olien, who established the knowledge gap hypothesis. Viswanath speaks on how his thinking about the knowledge gap hypothesis expanded to larger issues of communication resources: access to information as well as the ability to act on it. This led Professor Viswanath to develop a new framework called the structural influence model (SIM) of health communication which he expands on in this conversation.Click here for the episode transcript. FeaturingEllen WartellaEdmund LeeK.
