Six areas of communication studies will be examined: the foundations of theory, interpersonal communication, group and public communication, rhetoric, mass communication, and cultural context. The study of these areas will include an overview of theories that are foundational to other social sciences, including psychology, sociology, philosophy, and women's studies. (3 lect.)

This course begins from the premise that conflict is part of everyday life. It is as common as laughter, anger, and love and is probably no less important than any of these. Conflict is a natural, inevitable, and potentially beneficial part of our personal and professional lives. It can reveal injustices, usher in much-needed change, and be a source of personal growth, social transformation, and reconciliation. On the other hand, conflict can also breed resentments and alienation, and may be waged with all manner of destructive violence, including war. This course provides an introduction to a range of potentially positive conflict management processes. It blends theory, research, and practical skills to help better understand and manage conflicts.
