Focuses upon communication as a tool for doing the work of social life -- how, why, and with what consequences people exchange messages. It examines the modes and technologies of communication (mass-mediated, computer-mediated, spoken, written, non-verbal); the contexts and settings of communication (cultures, organisations, institutions, groups, families, interpersonal relationships); how communication skills are acquired; and how communication shapes societies and cultures.
