Waterhouse Family Institute for the Study of Communication and Society Grant

Portia Cobb, Debra Gillispie, Leslie J. Harris, and Erin Sahlstein Parcell received a grant from Villanova University’s Waterhouse Family Institute for the Study of Communication and Society (WFI) to develop the Gun Violence Project.

Villanova University’s Waterhouse Family Institute for the Study of Communication and Society (WFI) was founded on the principle that the study and practice of communication requires attention to values, ethics and social justice, and that properly understood, communication is central to the creation of positive social change.

WFI explores the ethical dimensions of communication and its role in creating social change through cutting- edge research and student programs, as well as the hands-on involvement of communication scholars and professionals from around the globe.
