SPA 354 - Digital Humanities and Intercultural Communication in Spanish

Semester Hours: 3
The course will explore how to communicate effectively in a multicultural environment and how to manage, negotiate, and resolve cross-cultural conflicts. To reach these goals the course will approach communication from the perspective that all relationships and group dynamics are developed and fostered within a specific cultural context. In this course, culture is understood to incorporate regional background and history, values, world views and associated thought processes as well as linguistic. In class discussions, students will analyze and reflect critically upon the multifaceted nature of communication, which includes verbal, non-verbal, and written forms of expression, as well as customary practices that give shape to relationships. The digital humanities component will become the systematic means to produce our content in assignments through videos, vlogs, audios, among others.
