Course Description:
This course utilizes rhetorical analysis as a methodology for analyzing and interpreting discourses of health and healthcare, with particular attention to how these discourses function in Hartford. We will develop rhetorical analytical skills and examine case studies of health communication throughout the world. This work will prepare us to perform our own investigation of the rhetorics of health in Hartford. How are ideas about health communicated, to whom, and for what purposes? What perceptions or assumptions of the community are embedded in these messages? The course will include a community engagement component. |
