Communication and Community is the senior capstone course for majors in Communication Studies. It offers students an opportunity to channel the experiences they have had with communication research and theory over the past years in order to prepare for life as a professional and a member of society. Students revisit the concept that communication and rhetoric (symbolic action) create and define social reality and examine how that has manifested in differing worldviews, resulting in ?isms? (racism, heterosexism, ehtnocentrism, etc.) as well as ?moral conflicts.? Students will discuss the importance of societal engagement and being a member of (multiple) communication communities. To supplement the ?book? learning of the classroom, there will also be a community-based learning component where students take their new knowledge, in combination with their communication expertise, and engage with an unfamiliar or unknown Omaha community group.
