Event

The Department of Literary. Cultural and Communication Studies hosts the Inaugural Conference on Human Communication Studies: Celebrating the Caribbean in Communication, Culture and Community 2013, at the Institute of Critical Thinking, UWI St. Augustine Campus in September 2013. Lawrence R Frey (PhD), Professor and Associate Chair/Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Communication at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA, will deliver the keynote address

Human communication studies research in the Caribbean has steadily been evolving, and these developments in the Caribbean reflect, in part, the international and national trends in the burgeoning discipline of human communication which is home to more than two dozen sub-fields.

As we celebrate the Caribbean in communication, culture and community, it seems appropriate to recognize, locate, share and celebrate what the Caribbean has contributed to human communication studies and what the world has contributed to Caribbean human communication studies in the works of Stuart Hall, Aggrey Brown, and others.

All academic faculty, and graduate and undergraduate researchers are invited and encouraged to participate.

Registration:

Regular - $US250 or TTD equivalent                    

Special price for registered students: $US100 OR $TT600
