COMM 371 - Intercultural Communication: Communicating Across Differences

This course addresses the social construction of inequality, specifically focusing on how communication processes are the means by which 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.
