This is a one semester Communication Thesis Seminar on Communication and identity. We will survey a broad range of theories and methods for studying the relationship between concepts of language, culture, community, nationality, technology (and the institutions that support these concepts), and the (always political) meanings assigned to personal and social identities. Alongside the topical content on identity, in the first weeks of the semester you will develop a thesis or portfolio project proposal to conduct an original research project on some relevant topic.

No matter where you end up in tech, you will need to explain concepts, products and ideas to people with different technical backgrounds. This course is intended to help prepare you for these communication tasks. Through the lens of tutoring, we will work on explaining technical ideas clearly and compassionately to others. We will do some theoretical study, including a history of CS education as well as brain and learning science, and some practice, including tutoring beginning students in CS.

This seminar will give students the opportunity to learn more about the different areas and career pathways in computer science, through guest lectures by professors and grad students, reading research papers, and coordination with CICS Careers. It is intended to be taken alongside any COMPSCI 200-level core course.
