Overview of class

What is effective risk communication? If the last few years have taught us anything, it is the need for effective risk communication. Readings and lectures will examine discoveries in social psychology and communication that inform our understanding of how people interpret risk information and make decisions. Through discussions, in-class activities, and student-led projects, students will explore how to create and evaluate effective risk messages. We will place special emphasis on health and environmental contexts.
