Communication affords opportunity to cultivate a sense of place, intimacy, and belonging in the world each day. Our lives take shape through our communicative routines, however predictable or simplistic they may appear. Everyday communication practices have the power to create, maintain, challenge, and alter relationships, identities, culture, meaning and ultimately, reality. By studying communicative actions in a more comprehensive and intersectional manner, consciousness can be raised, moving toward purposeful and intentional acts of communicative awareness and presence.  This practice is known as “conscious communication,” and is argued to be a hallmark of healthy interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. Through this course, students will study multiple “daily communicative acts” such as expression of gratitude and making amends through a variety of theoretical and disciplinary lenses: Communication Studies, Psychology, Health, and Spiritual Studies, encouraging a shift toward consciousness to increase personal, professional, and scholarly wellness.
