COM 357 - Intercultural Communication (4 Cr.) (LER-DIV)(GCR RPP)(GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
A survey of communication issues and problems created by sociocultural, racial, and national differences. The overarching project is to help students develop more ethical, just, and equitable ways of communicating across cultures. The study of intercultural communication entails learning about patterns and sources of conflict between different groups. Students are required to consider how and why racism, prejudice, and discrimination manifest. As a result, they grapple with broader currents of power that buttress inequality and injustice. By doing so, students become more aware of how they and others communicate, as well as the range of factors that impact communication and contribute to differences and inequalities. Prerequisites: COM 105 , COM 232 , and COM 262 , by the beginning of the semester; or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Staff.
