David Balzer
David is one of our resource people
for the November 5, 2022 conference, Babel 2.0
David joined the faculty at Canadian Mennonite University in 2009 and is currently Associate Professor of Communications and Media. Prior to CMU, David spent 12 years in radio production and live events, including many years as co-host of GodTalk on CJOB 68 on Sunday nights. David’s teaching areas include media and society, communication theory and Christianity and the media in Canada. He’s currently working on an audio documentary that explores why and how people use the phrase, “Oh my God” in everyday talk.
David will be joining us as what we’re called the “Interlocutor,” which means he’ll be tasked with asking the first question of our other speakers, and with co-hosting the Q+A sessions.
David’s current research agenda: The Oh My God Project
