Media Rhetoric and Communication - Integrative Pathway

In this pathway, students will learn to think critically about media, rhetoric, communication, information, and visual culture and how these are used to protect and challenge institutions of power. Students will use language, voice, film, theatre, rhetoric, narrative, and metaphor to become more effective communicators and critical listeners in the academy and beyond. Questions posed by the pathway include the following: How does one recognize the uses of information to advance interests? For example, how does ownership of information media affect the interpretation and framing of controversy? How do particular media technologies impact access to and dissemination of information? What influence do media technologies have on our perception of reality, and what are the consequences of altered and multiple realities? How have advertising, marketing, and branding affected our perceptions and choices? More personally, how does one intervene in public conversations to achieve desired policy goals?
