The course will focus on the ontological, epistemological, and axiological commitments common in organizational communication scholarship, and readings will emphasize empirical examples that take up topics such as organizational structure, the communicative constitution of organizations, identity and identification, discourse, organizational change, technology, institutions, networks, and power. We will tailor readings and assignments to students’ interests and professional goals, and the bulk of class time will focus on discussion of readings.

We will cover historical work on public opinion that addresses what public opinion is and how it is constructed. We will question how public opinion is formed, how it is structured, and how it can change. We also will explore how public opinion functions in a democratic system. Special emphasis will be placed on investigating how communication and media shape, and are shaped by, public opinion. Theoretical and empirical research from political science, sociology, social psychology, and communication will be discussed. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
