4111 MARRIAGE AS A SOCIAL ISSUE: AN INTERVIEW WITH COMMUNICATION THEORIST FRAN DICKSON
8:00 – 9:15 Monday, February 20 Sendero I
Our understanding of marriage as an institution has changed radically in the past ten years, but our understanding of how married couples cope with that institution, communicatively, has matured considerably over that period of time. The theoretical work of Professor Fran Dickson has contributed to a greater understanding of the communicative dynamics of marriage, and it has also evolved since its initial theoretical statement in 1999, where Whitchurch and Dickson surveyed the literature on family communication and advocated for defining marriages and families in communication rather than societal terms. In this interview, Bill Eadie, Editor of the Western Journal of Communication, will lead Professor Dickson through the evolution of her theoretical position, as supported by both qualitative and quantitative data, and will explore how her scholarship has led theoretical understanding of communication in marriage and families. The interview will also cover her work on how communication dynamics evolve as couples age and how the aging process affects relational issues such as satisfaction and conflict and social issues such as sexual health and HIV status of older adults. The interview will conclude with a look at Professor Dickson’s latest work, an edited volume on social crises in families whose chapters explore topics such as disclosure of transsexualism, parental infidelity, wartime deployment, loss of a child, and families coping with homelessness. Overall, the interview will serve to define issues that audience members will be solicited to engage in discussion.
Participants:
- Fran Dickson, Chapman University
- Bill Eadie, San Diego State University
