Political Communication and Race

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course explores political communication in historical contexts, through the lens of colonial thinking, to consider how colonial legacies might inform contemporary Western liberal-democratic discourses, policies and practices of government to address racism, as well as current debates on racial inclusion in political spaces. Students will engage various critical theories and key research methods to deepen their understanding of how to effectively advocate for progress on issues of race, in political and related organizational contexts.
