    entire curriculum for the Ph.D. was a Friday afternoon seminar/introduction to the department/introduction to the field. Each week, the faculty member in charge of the class would pick a topic that was “hot” in communication, and ask two other faculty members to discuss the topic from their respective theoretical or methodological or practical standpoints—for instance, “activism” or “engagement” or “campaigning” or whatever. The idea was to let graduate students see how scholars approach a topic and

Next up, the students headed to an informal brown-bag seminar ― a theoretical debate between faculty members. Students lounged on orange couches, some snacking on their lunches, as their professors pitted optimism against pessimism
