COMM 1305 - Intercultural Communication


Credits: 3

This course approaches communication as a fundamentally cultural accomplishment. The course will examine how people acquire and enact cultural identities, build cultural institutions, and maintain and resist cultural practices. We approach these issues through the examination of both theoretical perspectives and data-based studies of cultural practices. The course seeks to develop student sensitivity to cultural variation in behavior, ideology, and communicative practice, in the service of increased intercultural competence, and ethical participation in intercultural contexts.
