COMM 4100 - Gender and Communication Hours: 4
For over three decades, scholars have been systematically determining whether there are clearly differentiated regularities in mens’ and womens’ speech.

This difference has an impact on how we are perceived by others, how we negotiate relationships, and how we succeed in the public and the work place.
This course will consider: 1) the historical forces which helped shape perceptions of gender and appropriate communicative behavior, 2) the impact of socialization on the construction of gender, 3) contemporary institutions and their impact on understanding gender roles, 4) how gender expectations and differences can impact relationships, and 5) the available theoretical lenses which may be used to interpret the consequences of these differences.
