View all COM classes

Focuses on interactive relationships between gender and communication in contemporary American society. Students explore multiple ways communication in families, schools, media, and society in general create and perpetuate gender. They also examine how people enact socially-created gender differences in public and private settings and how this affects success, satisfaction, and self-esteem. Finally, students consider not only what is in terms of gender roles, but what also might be and how they, as change agents, may act to improve their individual and collective lives.
