COM3065 Internatural Communication

This course explores internatural communication, a subfield in communication, where the relationships between humans and nature are analyzed. Scholars of internatural communication consider nature and animals to be cultures that have been marginalized. In this course we study societal beliefs about the environment and animals, and we look at economic and relational factors that have shaped our views of nature. There is a focus on communication and relationships with animals including wildlife, pets, service animals, and farm animals. The course can be used as an elective, and it fits a focus area for the COMEL degree. The course has a strong experiential component with case-studies of relevant organizations, such as farms, environmental organizations, animal shelters and animal training facilities. Students in this course engage in reading, writing and larger projects to study of their own choosing. Credits: 3.000
