SPE 1900 - Family Communication


3 Credit(s) Hours: 3 hrs.

Family provides some of our first communication experiences, it can shape our communication perspectives, and it also presents us with communication challenges. This course explores the communication processes and functions of the family with focus on key family communication and relationship experiences (e.g., sibling relationships, power dynamics, family stories/identity, illness/crisis, marriage, divorce, negotiating gender, culture, and sexuality). The concept of family is continually evolving so this course will use diverse, practical, and critical perspectives informed by current scholarship for thinking through issues related to family
