Critical Theory of Communication in Organizations: Who Has a Voice at Work?

Who really gets to speak at work — and who gets silenced? In this episode of Communication Campus, Dr. Malynnda Stewart explores Stanley Deetz’s Critical Theory of Communication in Organizations, a powerful framework that challenges how power, participation, and voice operate within the modern workplace. Deetz argues that organizations are not neutral spaces. Communication often reproduces systems of control — but it can also be a tool for democracy, collaboration, and change.
