COMM 3300 - Intercultural Communication

3 Credit(s)

This course serves as an introduction to the basic terms, concepts and theories of intercultural communication. It highlights the dynamics that characterize the life of a culture and the implications of these dynamics for the way we communicate within and across cultures. It attempts to heighten students’ sensitivity to and awareness of their own cultural grounding, as well as that of people who are different from them, and asks them to apply communication strategies to construct more productive and beneficial intercultural outcomes. Emphasis is on connecting theory and practice through the analysis of various texts, films, case studies and out-of-class events. Class meets three hours weekly for lecture, discussion and application.
