Corey Liberman is interested in the role that social network members play in one’s communication practices within relationships, groups, and organizations. More specifically, he has studied the role of network members in the way that one handles interpersonal conflict, if and how network members come to impact small group decision-making, and whether and to what extent network members come to affect such variables as organizational identification, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and employee motivation. In short, Professor Liberman’s research interests involve better understanding the role of social influence, provided by network members, on communicative practices. He regularly teaches Interpersonal Communication (Comm 104), Principles and Theories of Communication (Comm 107), Strategic and Relational Communication (Comm 246), Organizational Communication (Comm 250), Small Group Communication (Comm 258), and Communication and the Future (Comm 400). He has also developed a special topics course entitled Communication and Social Networks (Comm 308), which addresses the role of network members in one’s decision making practices in a multitude of different areas, ranging from one’s decision to end a long-term romantic relationship to one’s decision to engage in risky health behaviors. Corey was a 2007 recipient of the International Communication Association’s Teaching Award.
