SPCOM 402 and SPCOM 440

[Gerald Voorhees]

Dear colleagues,

Please consider suggesting the following Fall 2022 classes to students seeking electives. This will be the last year anyone can take a SPCOM class... because the code will be COMST starting Fall 2023! Note that the course prerequisites have been removed though the level prereqs (at least 3A) remain.

SPCOM 402 Advanced Race, Culture, and Communication
This course is an advanced study of the intersection of communication and race that develops theoretical, critical, and historical perspectives on whiteness and race, racist language and communicative practices, and anti-racist critiques of communication. Students will further explore their own relationships to cultural conceptions of whiteness, race, and ethnicity.

SPCOM 440 Performative Inquiry and Practice
This course explores how to create, perform, and analyze performance texts, here defined as including drama/theatre texts, poetry, narratives, and the texts of everyday life. Through readings and creative investigation, students will explore the links between the participant, the researcher, the site, and the impulse of inquiry.

Thanks and best regards,

Gerald
