Concentration: Communication and Culture

Communication and Culture is concerned with studying the culturally distinctive ways in which people communicate within and across groups, societies, and language communities. It includes study of the ways communication both reflects and constitutes social difference in contemporary society and of how communication plays a role in the ways that individuals and societies come to terms with the cultures of their life worlds.
