​​The Language Centre is hosting a health communication research talk during which three dynamic researchers will share what they are busy with. Join the event in person or online.   

Health communication researchers Prof Carel Jansen (Research fellow, SU Language Centre; Emeritus Professor in Communication and Information Studies, University of Groningen) and Dr Burt Davis (Senior lecturer, Africa Centre for HIV/Aids Management, SU) will discuss their new study in which they test the effectiveness of a 'fotonovela', or photo novel, to communicate preventative health information about type 2 diabetes to the general public. In addition, Prof Elizabeth Lubinga (HOD, Department of Strategic Communication, University of Johannesburg) will share how using vignettes has helped to provoke mixed-gender cancer prevention discussions among university students.
