COM 306 - Gender and Communication

Credits: 3

Gender is a social construct that is constituted, expressed, and interpreted via the processes of human communication. With that in mind, in this course, we will explore the relationships between gender as a social construct and communication as a symbolic process and critically interrogate the assumption that gender, sex, and sexuality are inextricable categories of personhood. Students will gain theoretical insights and develop analytical skills to identify gendered expectations and interrogate how these expectations impact people of all genders.
