Additional Course Details:
Students learn to conduct analyses of public discourses about environmental problems using concepts of rhetoric and communication. Those analyses involve disclosing alternative perspectives toward those problems, how those perspectives frame issues, and the ways those framings constrain audience response to those problems. Students work together on a semester-long case study in which they analyze, evaluate, and respond to a discourse about a local environmental problem in a seacoast area town.
