Communication 397AV - ST-Intercultural Communication

This course examines how language and culture (broadly defined) are implicated in our everyday communication. We will investigate how preconceived beliefs, taken for granted cultural norms, and the language we speak shape how we experience the world and thus shape our "reality." We will examine how a person communicatively accomplishes cultural identities as well as implications of divergent communicative norms and practices for interacting across cultural boundaries.

Open to Senior, Junior and Sophomore Communication majors only.
