COMM 375 - Environmental Communication


3 Credit(s)

In relation to an era of mounting environmental crisis, this course examines how we use language to construct, describe, and test environmental issues, and to consider how rhetoric can help to resolve environmental disputes. To understand how environmental communication that addresses a broad public audience must draw upon the rhetorical resources of more than one kind of discourse, the genres considered will range from scientific studies and public policy documents to journalism, nonfiction essays, and word-and-image rhetoric in film, graphic arts, and commercial advertisement. As warranted.
