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, theways 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.

Open to Senior and Junior Communication majors only. Students will lead class discussions on readings in teams and facilitate group dialogues. There will also be weekly discussion posts on readings, two short journaling assignments, and a final assignment TBD.
