Unit(s): 4

This course is designed to highlight how communication plays a role in a variety of educational contexts.

In this course, you are encouraged to consider education as a democratic practice and reflect upon what that means for you as a student and as a potential educator, and to think of educational spaces as those in which communication is a tool for the co-creation of meaning.
