Description:

(Fall and Spring, Course Offered Every Year) This course offers students a survey of contemporary scholarship related to processes of intercultural communication. The course will consider the important role of contexts (social, cultural, historical) in intercultural interactions. We will examine the complex relationship between culture and communication from several conceptual perspectives, concentrating on three: social/psychological, interpretive, and critical. By applying these perspectives students will come to appreciate the complexities and tensions involved in intercultural interactions. This learning process should enhance self-reflection, flexibility and sensitivity in intercultural communication. Offered as CORE 403.
