Amardo Rodriguez, professor in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies, has published a new book: “Introducing Communication: Perspectives, Assumptions, and Implications” (University of Toronto Press). The goal of this introductory communication textbook is to reveal why the study of communication is important in terms of deepening our understanding of the human condition, enlarging how we frame and resolve human problems and struggles, and appreciating the different perspectives that communication brings to the study of the human experience.
