Communication Ethics in an Age of Diversity

In this volume, leading communication

        scholars integrate cutting-edge research with real-world dilemmas as they

        address ethical problems associated with technological and cultural changes

        and demographic shifts.

      In eleven chapters, the fourteen

        contributors to Communication Ethics in an Age of Diversity consider

        the implications of these changes to communication contexts ranging from

        personal friendships to communication over the internet and from classroom

        dialogues to mass-mediated communication to community building in an age

        of diversity. They address specific issues associated with race, gender,

        ethnicity, and affectional orientation, offering specific proposals for

        change. Although the primary audience is scholars and teachers in communication

        programs, the book will be of particular interest to readers in various

        disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, especially individuals

        in centers and departments of ethnic studies, women's studies, and African

        American studies.
