50300 Communicating the Social

8cp
Professional Strand – Social Inquiry – 200 level

Social, political and historical research finds many audiences and is carried out for many ends. Its communication is always affected by the genre used, the mode of communication, and the reception by its intended and often unintended audiences. Communication is a social practice within a societal and cultural context. Thus, clearly defining the goals of communication, the strategies and methods used, the technologies activated, the definition and analysis of audiences, and an understanding of what audiences do, all form part of the social practice. The subject brings together theory about social communication with practical communication strategy and implementation in a variety of applied social science contexts. It focuses on introduction to electronic communication using simple presentation and website construction programs.
