Professor Roy Colle's lecure, Innovations in Development Communication: A View from the Field, reaches back in history to identify some of the early strands of development communication — and some of the struggles that confronted its acceptance in the field. The principal thrust of the presentation focuses on innovative applications of information and communication technology for development. He examines the role of the university as a partner in addressing sustainability in development communication initiatives, and issues a challenge to a new generation of communication professionals in the digital age.
Royal Colle has spent more than 40 years in development communication as a teacher, consultant, researcher and practitioner. He has served with a number of international agencies including USAID, the World Bank, WHO, FAO, UNFPA and the British Department for International Development. He has helped build academic programs in communication in India, Singapore and the U.S. In 2009 he became a senior fellow of the Center for Communication and Sustainable Social Change. He has been associated with Cornell University for more than 50 years as a graduate student and professor. He is now Professor Emeritus at Cornell.
