CMST&240 — Intercultural Communication
A survey course of human interaction across cultures, focusing on values, behaviors, and perceptions to develop empathy and adaptability in diverse communication scenarios. We critically analyze culture, media, power dynamics, and more, challenging stereotypes and discriminatory practices. Students investigate intersections of social identities and historical movements, promoting equity, representation, and social justice. Additionally, students conduct ethical research following APA format guidelines for credibility and reliability. Throughout, we integrate perspectives from local, U.S., and global cultures.
