Communicating Sustainability

3 credits · Undergraduate

Communication is an ensemble of social practices. Messages, the symbolic and material form they take, and the social relations that structure them profoundly shape how we conceptualize the world and express ourselves. Communication is fundamental to how we share, learn, entertain, mobilize, argue, or find common understanding. Blending communications studies, critical media analysis, and the environmental humanities, this course explores the process of communications in relation to sustainability. It features a mix of lectures, discussion, and workshop activities that ask you to complete communications tasks.
