Communication Dynamics

The complex nature of communication benefits from a deeper understanding of self and social interactions. Participants explore their identities, considering the role of culture, experience, perceptions, emotions and reflection in shaping that identity. Language presents bridges and barriers, includes mediated interaction, is complicated by non-verbal communication, and requires listening to others. Role-play learning, active in-class participation, analysis, group work and case studies allow participants to reflect and build upon their own observations and experiences.
