COMM 599 Current Topics in Social Change Communication

By requiring students to engage in critical reflection regarding social issues that impact citizens, communities, and organizations, this workshop-style graduate course featuring community-involved social justice guest speakers explores how communication can support, challenge, and/or accelerate social change, particularly in urban locations such as Chicago. Using an intersectionality framework, topics may include “the digital divide,” politics, race, gender, sexuality, religion, status quo, or such other subjects that invite critical discussion and application of different communication frameworks to drive social change.
