LAS 228 - Communication Through Dress

3 hours
This course explores dress as a multifaceted communication tool that provides insight into one’s culture, beliefs, faith, identity, power, and emotions. Clothing conveys messages about how members of groups identify with those inside and outside of the group, and it communicates meaning to others in society. Signals sent by clothing can bring people together but also be the impetus for discrimination and injustice. This course explores and discusses possible interpretations of the many aspects of body adornment encountered in today’s diverse communities.

Prerequisite(s): Sophomores only.
