Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Loyola University Chicago/Communication, Language, and Gender - COMM 281 (Spring 2024)

This course explores the role of communication practices in the production, reinforcement and transformation of gendered identities. Students will learn how gender expectations within cultural contexts are created. They will also learn some of the ways that deeply-rooted assumptions limit social change and guide communication. This course is also a service-learning course. The goal is that students are able to acquire some sort of &quot;archival&quot; or secondary source from the non-profits that they are working with (perhaps annual reports etc.) in order to update each organization's Wikipedia page.
