Communications Courses

Communications 371. Communicating Across Differences: Intercultural and Gender Communication
Four Credits Johnston Fall Semester

portrait This course addresses the social construction of inequality, specifically focusing on how communication processes are the means by which gender, race, class, nationality, culture and ethnicity are created, and are also the means by which individuals can resist personal participation in perpetuating systems of inequality. Through encountering multicultural experiences, interviewing people in different social positions, and engaging in exercises and simulations, we will learn to broaden our self-identities and our understanding of others
by learning about the experiences, feelings, and views of people in social situations different from our own. Note: this course is cross-listed with Ethnic Studies and with Women's Studies.
