Communication in Close Relationships

Catalog description

One of the unifying factors in human life is having close, personal relationships. These relationships cannot be formed or maintain closeness without communication. In this course, we will examine the role of communication in various close relationships (relationships which might be covered include family, friendships, and romantic relationships) as written and theorized about in the literature. Additionally, we will discuss and critique various methodological perspectives for the study of communication in close relationships. Satisfies Magis Core Doing Social Science.
