About the Book

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.

The contributors 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. Throughout, the essays focus on interdisciplinary topics from various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, in particular ethnic studies, women's studies, and Black studies.
