This course explores how war and peace are advocated. This course argues that war is indeed an art, and a thoroughly rhetorical one in which the political economy of persuasion is as important as high-tech weaponry and whiz-bang battle plans.
By considering some of war's most thoughtful theorists, by discussing wars past and present, and by reading powerful defenses and trenchant critiques of war, this course will help students understand how wars are managed rhetorically. The trajectory of this course will thus make the full arc from war to peace.
Perhaps most importantly in this time of grave post-modern warfare, this semester's readings and discussions will make us all better rhetorical scholars capable of imagining alternative futures.
From the realities of war comes the possibility of peace. Debates, arguments, and other forms of communication in public life often address various kinds of ongoing controversies. Resolving those controversies often influences our collective social, political, and moral decision-making. This course provides students with concepts, vocabularies, and practices necessary to study historical and contemporary public controversies.
Understanding how to use rhetoric collaboratively and constructively for the public good is therefore valuable in both evaluating and helping to resolve controversies. CAS will allow students to learn about well-known and lesser-known controversies that affect social and political life in Pennsylvania, at Penn State, and throughout the nation.
Students will do so by examining primary and secondary texts or historical documents as well as academic research. The course requires students to collaboratively research controversial topics of their choice, thereby enabling them to practice both analytic and communicative skills that help to promote constructive public discourse. In these respects, the course offers students an academically rewarding and civically engaged experience.
Different versions of CAS will vary depending on the specialties of individual instructors within the broad and diverse scholarship on public controversies. All versions of the course, however, will be designed according to common learning objectives and major topics in order to provide students with substantive points of academic coherence and consistency across slightly differing iterations of the course.

Assignments and readings address theory, research, and practical application. Conflict and its management are critical issues that pervade the fabric of our society. This class is designed as an opportunity to explore the complexities of conflict, to understand the forces that make conflict challenging, and to develop a repertoire of skills for thinking about and managing conflict more effectively.
In this pursuit, we first examine the features that define and set the stage for conflicts. We then turn to the communication behaviors that people use to manage conflicts. Finally, we consider some of the dynamics that make constructive conflict management a challenge. The objective of this course is to expose students to the scholarly study of interpersonal communication in a way that both captures the vitality of the discipline and enhances interpersonal communication skills.

They represent our foundation, our growth, and our potential. Family relationships are complicated. They endure change, hardship, and adversity. And family relationships are ever changing. They shift with the diversity of family systems, they blend blood, legal ties, and social connections, and they move with the experiences of the individuals embedded in the family unit.
In the midst of all that family is communication, functioning as the creator, the designer, the mediator. Without communication, the family unit would have no identity. This course centers on family communication as the means through which family identity is constructed. Family communication is the way in which families re define themselves, how they make sense of their experiences, and the way they adapt to changing circumstances.
The course focuses on family communication as a vibrant and cross-disciplinary field, one that is dedicated to understanding the unique experiences and issues facing families. Theory and research are the foundation of the course with the goal of building bridges between theoretical frames and praxis, identifying ways in which theory illuminates many of the challenges facing families, while exploring how research can help to resolve these problems.
By the end of this course all students should be able to comfortably negotiate the tension between theory and practice. Enforced Prerequisite at Enrollment: 5th Semester standing.

Principles of communication about health across the lifespan and within health-care contexts. CAS Health Communication Theory and Research 3 This is an upper division course designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to multiple discourses about health and health care.
CAS emphasizes the communication about health and health care that reaches us everyday through many and varied professional, personal, and mediated forms. Interactions with health care providers were once limited primarily to physicians and nurses. Today, careers in health care are among the most rapidly expanding job areas, and a bewildering array of technicians and technical and professional titles greets the client of formal health care.
Awareness and understanding of how to assess these various roles increases the ability of students to interact competently with care providers. Family, friends, and the cultural groups that nurture our youth and sustain our adulthood interact with us about health on a regular basis as well.
Awareness and understanding of the impact that interactions with these primary social network members has on interactions with health care providers increases the likelihood that both provider and client will be better understood and better served. Every message about health and health care carries an ethical dimension in its content. The course will increase a students' critical thinking and informed decision-making skills associated with others efforts to influence them regarding their own health practices.
It also frames discussion about the ethics of and ethical decision-making associated with health communication. Students will examine communication about health in many situations and contexts to illustrate how it reflects efforts to assign labels to illness and disease, and sometimes the environmental and political contributors to the situation. Students will assess whether communication about health and health care places the responsibility on individuals, institutions, society, or some combination for the particular health condition or situation.
Finally, students will evaluate how communication is used to invoke personal, professional, and societal norms of conduct associated with standards of conduct that should promote health and well-being. The course is linked to the courses in interpersonal communication, organizational communication, health communication, and small group communication, as discourse about health crosses societal, cultural, and personal contexts.
CAS is one of the upper division courses that may be used to fulfill Major or Minor students' requirements for upper division credits. Explores the literature on gender research in the discipline of human communication.
