The concepts of diaspora, identity and ethnicity will be discussed in the first hour. These concepts will be related to one another through a discussion of how immigrant groups and other ethnic minorities maintain connections with their cultures-of-origin through media. The second hour will begin with select students’ responses to the homework. We will then focus on a specific health challenge facing Hispanic populations in the U.S. and Mexico, and discuss how it can be addressed through communication research. The session will conclude with a discussion of the value of collaborative international communication research.
