Bean advocates for increased use of critical-cultural and rhetorical perspectives

Hamilton Bean, Associate Professor in Communication, has published a chapter in the latest edition of New Agendas in Communication, Strategic Communication. This series, published by Routledge, brings together groups of emerging scholars to tackle important interdisciplinary themes that demand new scholarly attention and reach broadly across the communication field’s existing courses. Each volume stakes out a key area, presents original findings, and considers the long-range implications of its “new agenda.” Bean’s chapter, “Strategic Communication and U.S. National Security Affairs: Critical-Cultural and Rhetorical Perspectives,” advocates for the increased use of critical-cultural and rhetorical perspectives within the domain of applied strategic communication research; as well as promotes critical-cultural and rhetorical approaches vis-à-vis the development of U.S. strategic communication.
