TEACHING RECORD

Courses Taught at Rollins

COM 510: Corporate Communication, Small Groups, and Work Teams: a graduate course on communication practices in small groups and work teams. Students learn to examine and to write about their own and others' group communication practices more thoughtfully and more critically.

COM 395: Communication Research: a survey course on quantitative and qualitative research methods as both arts and sciences.

COM 220: Interpersonal Communication: a course on communication in close relationships. Students examine issues critical to relationship studies (e.g. identity, perception, language, listening, and conflict) and develop and share creative projects that explore the intricacies, complexities, ironies, and contingencies of living in communion others, including family members, friends, and lovers.

COM 120: Small Groups and Leadership: a course aimed at helping students understand, apply, evaluate, and use concepts, theories, and skills related to various aspects of group life (e.g. group formation, group maintenance and cohesion, group dynamics, group member roles and leadership, and "groupthink").

Other Courses Taught

Communication, Gender, and Identity: a course on the interactive relationship between gender and communication. Learning to use both rhetorical and interpersonal theories, students explore how communication practices in institutions such as the family, education, the workplace, and the media create, reinforce, challenge, and alter gendered identities, roles, and rules.

Communication and Society (Media Studies): a survey course examining the history, structure, and function of various print and electronic media. By emphasizing the interconnectedness of communication and mass communications, this class elucidates how media help construct and transform personal identity, the meanings of romance and interpersonal relationships, and conceptions of gender, culture, class, and sexuality.

Family Communication: a course on the family as constructed and experienced. Students are exposed to theories (such as symbolic interaction, systems, social construction, and dialectics) that help them understand family process. They examine their own and others' families as complex sites for making and remaking identity, relationships, and meaning.

Relationships on Film: a course using film to teach theories of communication and close relationships. By examining both popular and independent films, students come to understand how we live in what Norman Denzin calls "a cinematic society," where media texts preview, frame, and even replace relational experience.

Public Speaking: a course intended to improve proficiency in oral communication. Students learn how to research, construct, and perform various kinds of speeches. To help them enter a global society, listening, audience analysis, communication ethics, and cultural diversity also are emphasized.
