COMS 364 - Comm for Justice & Soc Change


Unit(s): 4

This seminar looks cross-culturally at the issue of justice and social change in various communicative environments - from courtrooms to non-governmental organizations and social media. The course explores the communicative practices involved in judicial proceedings, human rights, conflict resolution, and the struggle for justice and social change. Using a format that combines lectures, discussions, and students’ own community engaged learning projects, we tackle issues such as the communicative nature of conflict; the unequal access to justice and other social resources; the debate over migrant and refugee rights; and the link between power and communication.
