worldviews
a way of seeing is also a way of not seeing
Kenneth Burke
Forms Of Discipline
Consent & Dissent
How did it come to be the way that it is? Who does it harm? Who does it benefit?
Communication
Reflection & Action
Communication offers us an ongoing process and frameworks to both understand and address diversity, inequality, and inclusion as structural issues that can be responded to in our practices, discourses, and systems. Here, we will question and challenge our direct experiences with the cultures we participate in and our world.
critical inquiry
asking complicated questions and sorting through the implications of our (in)actions
Fassett, Warren, & Nainby (2018)
communication
the dynamic, ongoing process of creating and negotiating meanings through interactional symbolic practices, including conversation, metaphors, rituals, stories, dress, and space
Mumby & Kuhn (2019)
Organizations
Autonomy & Control
Communication is central to how we understand each other and what we are constructing together. We will take a critical-cultural perspective as we reflect on the communication we offer and witness. We will also explore frameworks for qualitative methodologies (i.e., (auto)ethnographic, rhetorical, pragmatist, phenomenological, postcolonial, communicative constitution of organizations, etc.)
Resilience
Stability & Change
Meaningful change does not trickle from the top on down. It happens when we act upon time, space, and what we relationally and socially sustain together from the bottom on up. Meaningful change happens in and through communication.
The Power Of The People
relies on people to endure
to advocate for the change that will benefit them, to work through their differences, to come together and form social movements in order to demand their rights
The Honourable Vida Yeboa (2006)
