Description
This subject is premised on the belief that an evolved understanding of human communication is central to the construction of personal identities and relationships, and further, our engagement in our social world. Therefore, this subject aims to help you acquire an advanced understanding of the key concepts, theories, and perspectives that govern the study and practice of relational communication. In reviewing alternative approaches within the field, you will explore issues related to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of relationships across a range of contexts. Incorporating a 'dark side' approach to the study of personal communication, you will critically examine topics ranging from attraction and love to conflict, gossip, privacy, deception, and transgressions. You will further develop your abilities to engage with and analyse research and theory about relationships and apply your newly acquired knowledge to analyse real-world communication problems.
