Intercultural Communication

This course will introduce you to general themes, issues and perspectives associated with the study of intercultural communication.

In exploring these issues, the presenters provide a brief introduction to the topic, a basic examination of important themes of culture and communication, two frameworks for viewing culture and examples from the presenters' research and life experience.
