Communication Theories: Perspectives, Processes, and Contexts

by Katherine Miller

Communication Theories is designed to provide students with a current and comprehensive discussion of influential theories in communication. While it emphasizes theories developed by communication scholars, the book also includes theories developed outside the field that have strongly influence the work of communication scholars. The main goals of this text are to provide students with a complete understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of communication theories; help students see where these theories fit in the grand scheme of social inquiry; and help students learn more generally about how to evaluate and critique theories at a more sophisticated level of understanding.

About the author

You’ve reached the Goodreads author page of Katherine Miller – but you can call me Kathy. I’m a writer, editor, mother, sister, daughter, and friend who after 30 years in academia is embarking on career 2.0 as an author of creative nonfiction and historical fiction. I've written several academic textbooks (with a confusing number of editions!) and a book based on my father's letters home during WWII that puts the experiences of growing up in battle in both historical and sociological context. I now live in the Minneapolis area with sister cats Molly and Friggly.
