In Teaching Communication Across Disciplines for Professional Development, Civic Engagement, and Beyond, contributors discuss key topics of merging communication across disciplines, teaching and research across disciplines, communication and student identity, and directions and transformation of teaching communication across disciplines. A cross-disciplinary approach is offered as a resolution to provide an avenue for the integration of a broad education that prepares students for global citizenship and civic engagement. Ultimately, this book argues that positioning communication as a theoretically rich process of social interaction and meaning with attention to rhetorical sensitivity can expand the vision of communication across the disciplines as merely skills-based. This increased demand for communication expertise opens opportunities for exploration, growth, community development, and cross-disciplinary alliances. Scholars of communication, English, and education will find this book of particular interest.
