Hi all.

We will be offering COM 401, Environmental Communication, this Spring for the first time in several years. This will be the “upper level COM theory elective” class for Spring (the currently listed Race, Culture and Comm. class will not be offered until next year).

The class will be Monday evenings, 5:30 to 8:15.

Communication tools can allow us to understand the complex dimensions of a given environmental problem, and to form an effective and ethical response to that problem. In this seminar students will explore regional and global environmental challenges in the context of natural and human history, political and economic systems, and human and media communication framing. Students will select a specific, current topic in environmental policy to investigate, and formulate a strategic plan in response to the chosen problem.
Prerequisites: Communication majors and Environmental Policy majors with 60 credits or more; OR any COM 200 or 300 level course plus 90 credits
Credits: 3
CCM

Thanks.
