In this volume, leading communication
        scholars integrate cutting-edge research with real-world dilemmas as they
        address ethical problems associated with technological and cultural changes
        and demographic shifts.
      In eleven chapters, the fourteen
        contributors to Communication Ethics in an Age of Diversity consider
        the implications of these changes to communication contexts ranging from
        personal friendships to communication over the internet and from classroom
        dialogues to mass-mediated communication to community building in an age
        of diversity. They address specific issues associated with race, gender,
        ethnicity, and affectional orientation, offering specific proposals for
        change. Although the primary audience is scholars and teachers in communication
        programs, the book will be of particular interest to readers in various
        disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, especially individuals
        in centers and departments of ethnic studies, women's studies, and African
        American studies.
