Cultural Communication Minor

(24 credits)

The Cultural Studies Minor examines communication practices as modes of action, ways of accomplishing social ends, the craft of communicative activity and performance, and ordinary and spectacular cultural events. Courses in this concentration utilize multiple methods to develop an understanding of the cultural worlds humans occupy. This concentration features ethnographic theory and method as well as critical theory and application. It involves students in participant observation, cross-cultural contexts, and prompts self-reflexity to produce knowledge about how culture is produced/reproduced by human action.
