Culture is communication and
communication is culture. -- Edward Hall
Why study culture in a Communication class?
Edward Hall's statement above sums it up nicely -- Every time you communicate, you do so according to the rules of your culture. Culture influences everything you see, do, feel, and think. As will be discussed in this class, your culture is inescapable and will always be a part of who you are and the way you move through the world.
This class is held on Thursday 6:30-9:40PM in room 315
Required text--Ting-Toomey, S. (2005) Understanding Intercultural Communication.
