COST 410 - Feminist Perspectives on Communication Theory and Research Methods

Institution:

Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

A writing-intensive seminar course in which students engage in a critical examination of traditional approaches in communication theory and research methods to reveal their underlying, often unstated assumptions about human nature and human communication. Feminist perspectives on different communication contexts, models, theories, and research methods are employed to explore the limitations and biases of traditional theories and modes of inquiry. In examining group, interpersonal, organizational, public, and intercultural communication contexts androcentric and Eurocentric biases are deconstructed and alternative approaches to the study of communication are discussed and applied in order to overcome the theory/method, subject/object dualism characteristic of conventional communication research. This class is available for graduate credit.
