Language and Interracial Communication in the U.S.: Speaking in Black and White

Summit Year: 
2009
Presented By: 
George B. Ray, PhD, Associate Professor of Communication, Communication Management Division Director, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH

Session Details: Improving interracial and intercultural communication is important to the delivery of culturally competent health care. This session will describe the importance of historical context in understanding barriers to language and communications among diverse groups. Attitudes toward nonstandard dialects tend to be judged negatively in overt prestige. Approaches to improve interracial communication will be presented as strategies to overcome barriers that impede communication with patients in health care settings.
