Session Submission Summary

Sustaining and Transforming the Communication Discipline: Examining the Relationship of Spirituality and Communication

Thu, November 12, 9:30 to 10:45am, Palmer House Hilton, Floor: Third Floor, Crystal Room

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Spirituality has been defined as the engagement to explore—and meaningfully connect one’s inner self to—the known world and Beyond. This panel examines how this engagement disrupts and enables existing social structures and how such processes (re)shape our understanding of human communication. The projects range from attempting to transform theoretical and methodological frontiers of the discipline to sustaining and enriching existing areas, such as health communication, instructional communication, and critical theory.
