Amardo Rodriguez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communications and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University. He was the recipient of the Syracuse University Meredith Teaching Award for Outstanding University Teaching. In addition to this new book, he is the author of Diversity as Liberation; the co-author of Embodying the Life: Writings from Post-Colonialism; and the editor of Essays on Communication and Spirituality: Contributions to a New Discourse about Communication.

Communication, Space, and Design looks at how our worldview shapes our relations to and conceptions of space and place, and how our spaces and designs impact our communication practices. By asserting that our spaces and designs are increasingly promoting various expressions of separation, this book contends that this separation makes us more private.
