CO 103 INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
There is an irrefutable imperative for all of us to understand not only those with similar background to our own, but even more importantly, those whose cultural identity differs from our own. Conflict based on political or religious difference, the growth of international business, increased global communication, inequities of access to such communication, the abundance of written and visual communication assaulting us on a daily basis, make intercultural communication a captivating and necessary field of study. This introductory course provides the theoretical and practical foundation for a degree in Communication, as well as being relevant to courses of study in other disciplines. It provides students with a strong sense of their own complex cultural identities before moving on to teach them the principles underlying the study of intercultural communication. There will be opportunities offered for practical applications of those theories in case studies, group and pair work and project work. 3 Credits
