Examines music as a form of communication distinct from traditional verbal and nonverbal forms, and considers how our relationship with music shapes and reflects our social, emotional, or cognitive states and identities. Takes a social scientific approach to this domain with detours into some less empirical areas such as how we ascribe meaning to music, and the sociopolitical impact that music may have. Not a music skills or appreciation class.
