Communication 397N - ST- Interracial Communication

In this class, we will examine the role of communication in the construction of race as a basis for similarity/difference, the ways that communication about race intersects with other social group categories to form a basis for individual, social, cultural and national identities. We will look at race as a dynamic of power that is both embedded and performed in contexts and institutions, in relation(ship) to others. Students will lead class discussions on readings and facilitate group dialogues. There will also be quizzes on readings and final (group) projects.

Open to Senior and Junior Communication majors only.
