Nonverbal Communication

Auteur

Jonathan M. Bowman, PhD, professor of communication, teaches courses in human communication processes and the methods through which we obtain that knowledge about communication. Bowman's research focuses on communication processes associated with intimacy and close relationships, with publications addressing nonverbal messaging, male friendships, technology in close relationships, and small-group communication. He has authored, coauthored, or edited five books and multiple editions, and contributed his knowledge to a variety of media affiliates, such as Good Morning America, USA Today, and National Public Radio. He was the recipient of the National Communication Association Ecroyd Award for Outstanding Teaching in Higher Education, the highest teaching honor in the discipline internationally, as well as the national Western States Communication Association Distinguished Teaching Award. Bowman has also received a Keck Faculty Fellowship for his focus on undergraduate research, an Innovations in Experiential Education Award for his commitment to high-impact practices, as well as multiple awards for excellence in teaching and advising. He serves as a mentor to undergraduates in multiple capacities, particularly those students involved in student government, Greek life, academic honors, and campus faith-based organizations. Dr. Bowman also works closely with undergraduate researchers as the director of the University of San Diego honors program.

Nonverbal Communication: An Applied Approach, Second Edition teaches students the fundamentals of nonverbal communication in a way that helps them see the connections between the principles they learn and the everyday communication they perform and interpret. Nonverbal Communication: An Applied Approach has taken a narrative style and applied approach that is informed by the important theories and research-driven knowledge of this interdisciplinary area of study. This approach encourages students to understand the relevancy of nonverbal codes right away, instead of waiting until the second half of the course to explore applications. Author Jonathan Bowman also brings in a unique focus on diversity and social justice, demonstrating how nonverbal communication shapes and molds how we interact in a diverse society. The Second Edition includes updated examples, a new Upgrade feature box examining the impact of digital experiences across the course of the lifespan, and updated key terms, guiding and closing questions, citations, photos, and figures.
