Communication Studies - Arizona State University at the West Campus

Communication Studies from Arizona State University at the West Campus is a Campus Master Media Studies degree that prepares you for a Communications career. The notion of advocacy is explored within the MA program in Communication Studies by examining advocacy across traditional classifications within a variety of contexts. This approach allows faculty to journey with students to discover and attend to advocacy in new, unusual ways to theorize and practice advocacy collectively. We contend that advocacy occurs at the intersection of public and private lives, in the space where the two overlap and mutually inform one another, often in complex, challenging ways. It is here that we seek to uncover how symbols, messages and meaning are constructed and arranged to establish, facilitate, enhance or detract from the social status, social support and/or social identity of particular, often marginalized groups. Although the faculty recognizes that one can advocate on one's own behalf, the faculty believes that the true work of advocacy involves attending to the other.
