COMM 144 — Communication Studies: Race and Ethnicity
This course provides both a theoretical and a practical exploration of communication, race, and ethnicity in the general context of U.S. culture, with a focus on race and ethnicity in popular culture and the arts. Attention is given to how contemporary and historical constructions of race and ethnicity influence both popular and everyday communication interactions. Emphasis is on developing communication competence in situations where perceived racial or ethnic difference factors into successful communication outcomes.
