Communication Ethics in an Age of Diversity

Book Overview

In this volume, leading communication
scholars integrate cutting-edge research with real-world dilemmas as they
address ethical problems associated with technological and cultural changes
and demographic shifts.
In eleven chapters, the fourteen
contributors to Communication Ethics in an Age of Diversity consider
the implications of these changes to communication contexts ranging from
personal friendships to communication over the internet and from classroom
dialogues to mass-mediated communication to community building in an age
of diversity. They address specific issues associated with race, gender,
ethnicity, and affectional orientation, offering specific proposals for
change. Although the primary audience is scholars and teachers in communication
programs, the book will be of particular interest to readers in various
disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, especially individuals
in centers and departments of ethnic studies, women's studies, and African
American studies.
