| Purpose: The purpose of the module is to counter-weight colonial communication frameworks of enquiry in order to promote qualitative transformations in the everyday lives and lived realities of Africans.
Successful students will be able to invoke histories, worldviews, and indigenous knowledge systems to the praxis of Communication Studies that places the everyday worlds, needs and uses of Africans first. Successful students will also have acquired insight into the different definitions, approaches and practices of communication studies, and understand the influence and practice of cultural power, the negotiation of meaning and the importance of context when approaching and analysing communication situations. |
