COMM 3720U – Communicating Identities What is identity? How are our identities shaped by ethnicity, gender, religion, education, class and the media? This course examines identities through the lense of communication theory and as they relate to sensitive social issues, such as stereotyping and oppression. Students will investigate how people construct, differentiate and perform their identities in relation to others. They will also interrogate how and why the media may represent, underrepresent, and misrepresent identities in society. Students will subsequently understand how communications shapes identities and reinforces and challenges power relations in society. Credit hours: 3 Lecture hours: 3 Prerequisite(s): Third-year standing
