• COMM 627: Digital Advocacy

  3.00 Credits

  Millersville University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course focuses on the ways that digital technologies and social media increasingly shape the contemporary impact of social movements and political activism. Bringing together cultural studies approaches to communication and social movement theories with historical attention to protest and social change, this course considers what ii means to 'become-activist' and how to serve as an advocate for social-political change as an ongoing aspect of one's everyday life. Hence, the course will explore matters such as commitment and participation, place and identity, conflict and group cohesion, and the social justice issues that arise in regard to race, class, gender, ethnicity, disability rights, immigration and refugees, environmentalism, animal rights, and global activism. As part of the MS program in Emergency Management, the course will also consider the impact of digital advocacy in crisis, emergency, risk and disaster contexts.

• COMM 653: Applied Comm Theory

  3.00 Credits

  Millersville University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course is designed as an opportunity to apply communication theories, concepts, principles, pedagogies, and practices to address real-world problems in crisis, emergency, risk, and disaster contexts. Whether it is at the interpersonal, group, mediated, organizational, societal, or global level, communication theories can help postgraduate students understand and investigate important issues and concerns. While the main focus of the course is to introduce communication theories and apply them in students' experiences of crisis, risks, and emergency management, it also employs critical and practical perspectives in evaluating current theoretical trends and creating new currents of thoughts in research and paradigms. Postgraduate students will be able to apply their knowledge and skills to improve their practices during emergency management and provide valuable services to the community at large.
