Erika Darics's recent article "Critical Language and Discourse Awareness in Management Education" called for a more nuanced appreciation of language and communication in the management classroom. In this rejoinder, I share insights from my own background in organizational communication and discuss how I incorporate communication theory into the courses I teach in management and business communication in an effort to help students develop a critical consciousness of the ways in which communication shapes their social realities. In doing so, I also answer Darics's call for a stronger interdisciplinary relationship between organizational and language/communication scholarship.
