We will look at the communication skills you practice in your internship (including interpersonal communication, public speaking, written communication, social networking, group facilitation, etc.) not only in terms of their value in the workplace but also as real-life data ripe for scholarly inquiry. NOTE: This course does not provide credit for doing the internship, rather it is academic credit that you pursue concurrently with an internship.

  • COMM 394PI: Peer Advsng & Leadership Sem I

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    This course draws together theory and research from the discipline of Communication, skills and interdisciplinary understandings developed through students' various general education courses, and their own insights as students, emerging leaders, and collaborators in the Peer Advising Program. The seminar and its related activities are designed to serve two, complementary goals: 1) honing students' skills and expanding their understandings of the connections between a ?whole student? approach and undergraduates? academic success, and 2) building leadership competence and sensibilities that will extend well beyond the context of advising, preparing students to become insightful, skilled, and ethical leaders in a complex social world. We will examine modes of communication (including one-to-one communication, small group facilitation, social media use, and public speaking), identities (including race, culture, sexuality, gender, and social class), and late adolescent/adult development (including transitions into and out of college, shifting priorities across the lifespan, and the weave of cognitive, social, and emotional development). This is a service learning course designed to scaffold students' development as visionary professionals and engaged citizens able to analyze individual, group, organizational, and societal phenomena in nuanced and socially responsible ways. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Comm majors.

  • COMM 394RI: Race, Gender and the Sitcom

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    This course examines the situation comedy from sociological and artistic perspectives. We will seek, first of all, to understand how situation-comedy is a rich and dynamic meaning-producing genre within the medium of television. Secondly we will work to dissect narrative structures, and the genre's uses of mise-en-scene, cinematography/ videography, editing, and sound to create specific images of the family through social constructions of race, class, and gender. In addition we will use various critical methods such as semiotics, genre study, ideological criticism, cultural studies, and so on to interrogate why the sitcom form since its inception in the 1950s has remained one of the most popular genres for audiences and industry personnel alike and assess what the genre might offer us in terms of a larger commentary on notions of difference and identity in the US and beyond. Satisfies the IE require for BA-Comm majors.
