Expanded Course Description
This course uses discussion, hands-on field experiences, readings, reflective writing, film, student research and thought experiments to explore the fundamentals and the nuances of effective cross-cultural communication. Together, we will consider a whole host of aspects of culture and identity - values, beliefs, assumptions, education, and many others - as factors in cross-cultural understanding. Lectures and discussions, whether online or in-person, will explain, clarify, supplement, apply, extend or contextualize the readings and the assignments, which are all fundamental to mastery of the course content. The course will provide real world context to current issues in cross-cultural communication.
Expectations include extensive reading and writing intended to foster reflection about their own practices and beliefs surrounding communication. The course goal is to engender critical thinking, curiosity and empathy, while advancing intercultural understanding.
