One year ago another class, a seminar in communication studies, was instituted. Students from both departments at the college are now allowed to write graduation papers in the field of communication. This paper discusses the history of communication studies at Keisen and why the author feels that the introduction of the possibility for students to write sotsuron means that the content of both the sophomore level class and junior seminar must change. Instead of focusing on interpersonal communication, the classes should focus on mass communication or media studies. Indeed, it will be argued, this classification should be further narrowed to Television Studies and Criticism framed within a critical approach to Japanese media culture.}, pages = {133--149}, title = {Communication Studies at Keisen : Past, Present, and Future}, volume = {5}, year = {1993} }
