In Teaching Communication Across Disciplines for Professional
Development, Civic Engagement, and Beyond, contributors discuss key
topics of merging communication across disciplines, teaching and
research across disciplines, communication and student identity,
and directions and transformation of teaching communication across
disciplines. A cross-disciplinary approach is offered as a
resolution to provide an avenue for the integration of a broad
education that prepares students for global citizenship and civic
engagement. Ultimately, this book argues that positioning
communication as a theoretically rich process of social interaction
and meaning with attention to rhetorical sensitivity can expand the
vision of communication across the disciplines as merely
skills-based. This increased demand for communication expertise
opens opportunities for exploration, growth, community development,
and cross-disciplinary alliances. Scholars of communication,
English, and education will find this book of particular interest.
This book critically analyzes the portrayals of Black women in
current reality television. Audiences are presented with a
multitude of images of Black women fighting, arguing, and cursing
at one another in this manufactured world of reality television.
This perpetuation of negative, insidious racial and gender
stereotypes influences how the U.S. views Black women. This
stereotyping disrupts the process in which people are able to
appreciate cultural and gender difference. Instead of celebrating
the diverse symbols and meaning making that accompanies Black
women's discourse and identities, reality television scripts an
artificial or plastic image of Black women that reinforces extant
stereotypes. This collection's contributors seek to uncover
examples in reality television shows where instantiations of Black
women's gendered, racial, and cultural difference is signified and
made sinister.
Constructing Motherhood and Daughterhood Across the Lifespan
explores the complex dynamics between mother and daughter over the
lifespan. The editors believe that these vital family roles are
socially and communicatively constructed, shaped, and molded as
mothers and daughters navigate, respond to, and negotiate cultural
and familial discourses. Aimed at undergraduate students, this
timely book includes course activities and discussion questions in
every chapter and a complete term syllabus to enhance a professor's
teaching, providing a smooth route for adoption as a course text.
The book also builds on and contributes to the critical and
theoretical research in family communication, media studies, and
gender studies, delving into the nuanced communication surrounding
motherhood and daughterhood in the United States.
