Communication & Culture
The communication and culture major is designed to engage students in focused inquiry into the cultural foundations of communication emphasizing the role of communication in both transmitting and creating culture through practices of verbal and nonverbal communication. Students learn new ways of thinking about communication, and explore topics as diverse as the effects of mass media, the creation of nationalism and nationalist symbols, gender and language development, and new media technologies. Through an interdisciplinary approach, involving faculty from different fields of expertise in the humanities and social sciences, students may choose one of three paths of emphasis: media dimensions, discourse dimensions, and global dimensions.
