dc.description.abstractThis chapter is an overview of Ghanaian contextual articulations of the theory and method of the discipline of communication studies. It observes communication's affinity with older fields of social study whose major concepts it has appropriated. Communication perspectives discussed span modernization dominated paradigms through to contemporary post-modernist analyses and interpretation. Critical communication theories, also western society located, are explored. Implicit in the discussion is the interconnectedness between theory and research. The School of Communication Studies is examined for curriculum content, teaching approaches, and faculty research and publication output as well as extension activities. The analysis helps situate the School's response to theory and method of communication. Finally, a prognosis of the future of theory and method is projected with a proposition for greater infusion of indigenous African thought systems into theoretical and methodological formulations to engage an African perspective within the universal construct.en_US
