Prerequisite: One 200-level COMM course
This course investigates gender as a cultural communication practice that both reflects and creates the culture in which it takes place. The class will examine how gender shapes communication and culture; and how both interpersonal communication and cultural texts create, reproduce and challenge the meaning of gender. The course will also consider how issues such as identity, representation, race, sexuality, class and power bear on gender. Offered annually.
