COMM 3320Communication and Work/Life

Catalog

Prerequisite(s): None This course examines the role of communication in issues of work/life. Students explore exactly what is communicated at work and the pervasiveness of organizations in our lives. By examining organizations through an ethical lens, students articulate what happens when organizations behave poorly or may not have workers best interest in mind. Students explore a variety of case studies to help illustrate various theoretical constructs. Students also contest the social construction of the modern “professional” and reflect on ways to empower oneself with communication strategies that may help foster a higher quality of work/life.
