Comm Foundations: Theory and Practice

0.5 Unit · Undergraduate

An introduction to communication as a dynamic process shaped by multiple factors (e.g., culture, interpretative practices, cognitive and behavioral patterns, identity formation and maintenance, power relationships). Students develop their critical awareness of this process and its relevance for their own social, civic, and professional lives through experimentation with a range of media and communication competencies (e.g., storytelling, performance, public speaking, textual analysis). Offered only in the summer for first-year students.
