Detail

Course Summary

This seminar explores and examines our intercultural communication from a critical perspective. Culture is, in fact, influenced by economic and sociopolitical issues that create unequal power relations between peoples. Therefore, it is imperative that we understand the power at work in an intercultural context and develop critical literacy. Then, we can confront unequal power relations and have the agency to create positive change. We will explore the issues regarding ethnicity/nationality/race/biculturalism, language, gender, and class, through reading and discussing books/videos/articles. Students will also conduct a project on related topics.
