Abstract

Building on the frameworks of critical communication pedagogy and critical/social constructionist approaches to crisis communication, contributors to this volume demonstrate the critical importance of communication in the higher education context, a particularly ripe breeding ground for these crises. Contributors address a broad range of topics relating to higher education divided into three major categories - interpersonal and community crises; social, political, and institutional crises; and the development of pedagogical strategies and technologies in response to crises - in order to provide a thorough, well-rounded examination that will be of interest to a widely interdisciplinary audience. This book is not just about weathering crises; it's about reimagining higher education as a space where crises become opportunities for transformative learning and systemic change.
