Environmental Communication

Catalog description

Environmental Communication This course examines both the pragmatic and constitutive dimensions of communication about the natural world. Within this intellectual context, participants will examine how communication creates, shapes, and maintains the social realities used to make sense of society's decisions about how to negotiate relationships between humans and Earth. Topical focus will rotate, and the course may be taken up to three times for credit. Possible foci include communication and environmental conflict, justice, and policy.
