    Description
    Formerly: COMM G255. This course analyzes the study, practice, and application of communication theories as they relate to different cultural, co-cultural, ethnic, and racial groups including African American, Native American, Asian, and Latina/o populations. Current structural issues such as immigration, multiculturalism, racism, and language policies are critically reviewed through a rhetorical lens. Communication is examined in both cross-cultural and intercultural settings with emphasis on interpersonal effectiveness, including skills in nonverbal processing, assessment of different cultural interactional patterns, and anti-racist practices to build a just and equitable society. Enrollment Limitation: ETHS G255; students who complete CMST G255 may not enroll in or receive credit for ETHS G255 . C-ID: COMM 150.
