Carly Tschantz is a student at Denison University in Granville, OH where she spreads her time between academics, athletics, and a number of service and social endeavors. Majoring in Communication and minor in Economics, this blog is currently a class assignment but also an opportunity; an opportunity to speak her mind. What about might you ask? The Communication Department’s mantra of “communication as constitutive” is what she intends to delve into and pick out what roles and rituals communication plays in day to day life.
Carly balances her time between being a member of the varsity field hockey, varsity lacrosse, Pi Beta Phi sorority, producing a highlight film for her field hockey team’s 2009 season, and assisting her lacrosse coach in organizing clinics, fundraising, and general administrative work. She has accumulated a deep understanding of what an important role communication plays in these many facets of her life. Carly intends to apply her technical and practical experience in public, social, and media-related communication towards her blog.
Likewise, she is the youngest part of a family of five where her family dinner table has taken on a liking to the set of The O’Reilly Factor. Her position in the family constellation will prove useful for this blog since she has learned a simple truth about being the youngest: If you want to have an opinion, you better be willing to fight and have educated examples (that, or be able to yell louder.) Even with a conservative background, her parents, brother, and sister have helped cultivate her own perspective of politics, economics, religion, and the general world around her.
