COMM 2135 - Gender, Communication, and Culture

(3)

This course is designed to give students an understanding and appreciation of gender in communications. The course will focus on the differences in communication and interaction based on gender and biological differences in the human species. The class is descriptive, not prescriptive, in nature. Students will examine variables in gendered communication while examining their own biases as a source of communication practices and developing an understanding of the ways society constructs norms for communication based on gender and gendered language. This course is both theoretical and practical.
