David H. Kahl, Jr. Associate Professor of Communication

Book Title: Critical Communication Pedagogy

Author: Deanna L. Fassett and John T. Warren

Selection Statement:

Critical Communication Pedagogy is one of the most influential books for me as a scholar. This book has provided the foundation for my own scholarship in the area of critical communication pedagogy. In the book, Fassett and Warren demonstrate, autoethnographically, how power can be understood through a communication perspective. They do so by examining the relationships among communication, pedagogy, and hegemony to assist students in becoming reflexive about their own learning. This book has challenged me to develop new ways of helping students recognize and respond to power in their lives.
