Welcome

The Department of Communication Studies is committed to high quality human relationships and to exploring the communicative conditions for ethics and justice in human sociality.

We are a teaching department that places high priority on making our own contributions to new knowledge about communication, and our scholarship variously follows both social scientific and humanistic approaches. We refuse to privilege one research method over another.

Throughout its history, the department has been intrigued by theory, yet we have never eschewed practical application. Just as we began a hundred years ago being proud to teach people to be good public speakers, today we are committed to advancing quality, ethics, and justice as outcomes of communication.

I've been working on introducing more use of technology and alternative writing venues and voices in my graduate and undergraduate courses. For instance, in my last two graduate seminars, I've used blogs as a space for students to generate ideas leading up to major writing projects. . .

Communication has taught me to effectively manage conflict. I now understand why, at times, people behave and communicate (or don't communicate) the way they do. . .
