ENG 227 - Communicating Controversy: Topics


Communicating Controversy: Topics explores how the general public becomes informed on complex, politically divisive issues, especially those issues in which a clear consensus of evidence exists. In so doing, the course requires a fundamental exploration of the critical thinking process. Topics may be associated with a specific area of study (sustainability, impact sports) or a broad discipline (science, art). The course is naturally interdisciplinary, as it draws on the disciplines of communications, sociology, psychology, and ethics in addition to the areas associated with the designated topic(s).  May be repeated under different topics for up to six credits.
