Teaching
Communication 6800: Studies in Communication
Offered every fall semester
As the first of four core graduate courses on the study of communication, this course serves several purposes. The course reviews classical and contemporary readings in communication, including key concepts and areas of investigation. It explores the scope of the field, the interrelationships of its various branches, and examines the role of theory in the research process. The weekly seminar meetings introduce students to our faculty, their general areas of research, and their theoretical approaches. Finally, the course focuses on developing students’ theoretical understanding of the discipline, providing epistemological practice in how we think about communication phenomena at multiple levels of analysis, and reflecting on the structures and systems that shape the questions communication researchers ask and how we ask them.
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
(1) Identify major theoretical perspectives, domains of research, and contexts of focus in the field of communication at Cornell;
(2) Analyze communication phenomenon from different theoretical perspectives and articulate this analysis in class discussions, blackboard posts, and written short papers;
(3) Describe the research interests of our faculty, their general areas of research, and their theoretical approaches;
(4) Position their own scholarship within the field in terms of theoretical stance and methodological preferences, as evidenced in class discussions, blackboard posts, and written short papers;
(5) Integrate theory, epistemological practice, and critique of dominant perspectives in an area of the discipline to inform their research trajectory in the field;
(6) Reflect on sources of bias and discrimination that inhibit diversity, equity and inclusion in communication research and identify strategies to address them; and
(7) Conduct an in-depth literature review on a topic of their choice, analyze and synthesize the material, and identify open theoretical questions that they might address in their future research, as evidenced in a final term paper.
Communication 4760: Population Health Communication
Offered some spring semesters
This senior-level undergraduate seminar provides an overview of theory and research on communication related to population health, including strategic efforts to impact health behavior and structural environments that support health, media portrayals of health issues, and news coverage of health and social policy with impacts on the health and distribution of health in populations. Topics include theories of behavior change and message effects, campaigns to improve behavioral and structural determinants of health; the intersection of health and politics; and implications of changes in media platforms for population health campaigns and research.
This seminar is intended for advanced undergraduate students concerned with how large-scale mediated communication can influence health-related behavior and policy in ways that affect human health and well-being. The course is designed to serve both students who are trained in communication or other social sciences who wish to bring their theory and methods training to bear on health issues, and students focused on public health, nutrition, or public policy who wish to develop a stronger background in the theory, methods, and practice of health communication.
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
(1) Understand major theories that try to explain variation in (a) health-related behavior among individuals and larger social units, and (b) responses to health-related messages designed to promote behavior or policy change;
(2) Analyze the implications of those theories for the potential role of public health communication in changing behavior;
(3) Evaluate the credibility of the evidence for the effectiveness of prominent, historical examples of public health communication programs in the US and abroad;
(4) Evaluate evidence for effects of other forms of public communication relating to health (advertising, news coverage, media programming) on health and policy outcomes; and
(5) Synthesize knowledge and skills learned in objectives (1) through (4) to develop a review of research in an area of interest.
Communication 6760: Public Health Communication
Offered some spring semesters
This graduate seminar provides an overview of theory and research on public communication related to health behavior and policy change. Topics include theories of behavior change and message effects; formative and evaluative research; campaigns related to cancer, AIDS, obesity, smoking, nutrition, and drug use; and heterogeneity in campaign effects between populations. The instructor assumes that students have received at least once semester’s worth of instruction at the graduate level in quantitative research methods.
This seminar is intended for graduate students concerned with how large-scale mediated communication can influence health-related behavior and policy in ways that improve human health and well-being. We do not focus on issues of interpersonal health communication (e.g., doctor-patient communication). The course is designed to serve both students who are trained in communication or other social sciences who wish to bring their theory and methods training to bear on health issues, and students focused on public health, nutrition, or public policy who wish to develop a stronger background in the theory and methods of health communication.
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
(1) Understand major theories that try to explain variation in (a) health-related behavior among individuals and larger social units, and (b) responses to health-related messages designed to promote behavior or policy change;
(2) Analyze the implications of those theories for the potential role of public health communication in changing behavior;
(3) Evaluate the credibility of the evidence for the effectiveness of prominent, historical examples of public health communication programs in the US and abroad;
(4) Evaluate evidence for effects of other forms of public communication relating to health (advertising, news coverage, media programming) on health and policy outcomes.
(5) Apply knowledge gained about communication theory and skills developed in using SPSS or a similar statistical program to analyze survey data to inform an original communication strategy brief;
(6) Synthesize knowledge and skills learned in objectives (1) through (5) to develop a major research project of their choosing in their area of interest.
