Communicating effectively across differences of age, gender, language, culture, and political orientation, and in different contextual situations is a skill useful for every individual. It is also integral to the success of any attempt to resolve conflict, whether individual, group/institutional, or global. Through this course, students will gain an understanding of the challenges of communicating across differences and the skills required to communicate effectively. Students will engage in preparing and analyzing communication strategies and over the term will participate in a dialogue group that explores the meaning and experience of difference on the Mason campus.
