This course focuses on the ways that digital technologies and social media increasingly shape the contemporary impact of social movements and political activism. Bringing together cultural studies approaches to communication and social movement theories with historical attention to protest and social change, this course considers what ii means to 'become-activist' and how to serve as an advocate for social-political change as an ongoing aspect of one's everyday life. Hence, the course will explore matters such as commitment and participation, place and identity, conflict and group cohesion, and the social justice issues that arise in regard to race, class, gender, ethnicity, disability rights, immigration and refugees, environmentalism, animal rights, and global activism. As part of the MS program in Emergency Management, the course will also consider the impact of digital advocacy in crisis, emergency, risk and disaster contexts.

3.00 Credits
This course is designed as an opportunity to apply communication theories, concepts, principles, pedagogies, and practices to address real-world problems in crisis, emergency, risk, and disaster contexts. Whether it is at the interpersonal, group, mediated, organizational, societal, or global level, communication theories can help postgraduate students understand and investigate important issues and concerns. While the main focus of the course is to introduce communication theories and apply them in students' experiences of crisis, risks, and emergency management, it also employs critical and practical perspectives in evaluating current theoretical trends and creating new currents of thoughts in research and paradigms. Postgraduate students will be able to apply their knowledge and skills to improve their practices during emergency management and provide valuable services to the community at large.

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on forms and functions of communication in a variety of health care settings and on messages in human and mediated communication contexts that promote and reinforce health values, beliefs, practices, policies, and products. This course prepares students to examine the specialized research in health communication in this growing area of scholarship that receives recognition at the national level. II works to advance theory, research, teaching, and practical applications of human and mediated communication to health care and health promotion. Students will also examine how cultures influence the construction and interpretation of health-related messages. As part of the Master of Science in Emergency Management, the course will include a focus on crisis, emergency, risk, and disaster contexts.
