Kommunikationsteori och strategi

There are numerous ideas about what communication is and how communication can be used strategically. During this course we study, apply, and compare different theoretical perspectives on communication. We also develop an understanding of communication in practice by reading about models for strategies, investigating how others work with it, and by developing a strategy for a communication project. The course aims to connect thinking about communication theories and strategies, and to establish critical and reflexive perspectives on communication theories and strategies.
