PSY 163 Communicating in a Diverse World
This course will cover methods of effective communication with individuals and groups. This will include consideration of communication in helping roles, in leadership positions, and in basic professional and personal communication scenarios. Special attention will be given to the topic of understanding oneself as situated in a diverse world. How do our own intersectional identities (e.g., gender and gender identity, race and ethnicity, language, immigration status, socioeconomics, abilities and disabilities, etc.) impact that ways that we express ourselves and the ways that our expressions are received by others? How can we more effectively communicate with individuals from a range of diverse backgrounds while engaging in professional roles? A strengths-based approach will be used to foster self-awareness and to allow students to reflect on ways to build on existing strengths in communication and work styles.
