"Collaborating with S.L. Wisenberg on the panel, 'Storytelling and humor as strategy of "survivance"' was such a pleasure! She kept the needs of the audience in mind and gave a presentation that was funny and well researched. The audience members were eager to participate, thanks to her welcoming demeanor and wry sense of humor." Gayle Levy, associate professor of French, University of Missouri-Kansas City
