A process of gendering begins at birth and continues throughout a person’s life. One aspect of that process is how we learn to communicate. Based on the premise that males and females learn different ways to relate, this program investigates how communication styles fall onto a continuum of what society deems as masculine and feminine and what it means to deviate from the norm. Video looks at how the academic study of gender and communication has evolved over time & investigates what it means to "do gender," as opposed to being one gender or another. Examines how communication styles and speech acts fall onto a continuum of "masculine" and "feminine." It features vignettes with men and women that have taken on roles that fall outside of what is standard for their gender in society, and explores the impact that this has made on their styles of communication.
