Description:

This course will survey contemporary theories of rhetorical communication and analyze areas of methodological controversy. We will discuss topics such as communication's role in defining humanity, power and communication, marginal groups and public discourse, gender/sex and rhetoric, evidence and public policy argument and the impact of emerging communication technologies on methodological applications. We will operate from the assumption that language reflects, selects and deflects reality in its construction of how we perceive the world.
