Yes, you can! Whether your interests are about social justice and diversity across the globe or within the US, Communication offers many relevant upper-level courses, and has many faculty members who focus on issues of social justice and diversity in their research. Emphasis on social justice and diversity can be found in courses about the media, social interaction, communication industries, and communication theory. Attention to these issues is an integral part of the department’s research and teaching mission. Many courses focus on gender, sexuality, and class identities and how these relate to social inequality. This page focuses on courses that highlight global issues, race, and ethnicity. Students should note that these courses are not necessarily offered every semester or every academic year.
