How do we communicate about risks faced by individuals, groups, and society? What role does communication play in decision-making and behavior when there is uncertainty? This seminar examines the concept of risk and explores classic and current literature on risk perception and risk communication. The class will introduce prominent theories and models that are used in risk communication research, and engage with scholarly debates, ethical considerations, and challenges surrounding risk communication in the current communication environment.

Communication is key to how people navigate the questions they have about participating in close relationships. Accordingly, this seminar will examine how individuals communicate when they are experiencing relational uncertainty. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Koven, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Section Title: Language, Culture & Identity Section Info: We will discuss how people use language in ways that signal a range of interactional and socio-cultural meanings. We will explore a number of classic and contemporary approaches that address how language use both seems to “reflect” and create interpersonal and sociocultural contexts.More specifically, we will cover a range of approaches to the study of the relationships between language use and processes of social identification, often understood in terms of seemingly more durable, broader-level rubrics, such as ethnicity, race, class, gender, sexuality, the nation-state, diaspora, generation, etc. Although no previous background is required for this course, students must be willing, however, to read, synthesize, and discuss material from a range of disciplines. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
