adriano Rodrigues
Adriano Duarte Rodrigues (born 7 April 1942) is a Portuguese communication theorist. As an assistant professor of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences (Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, or FCSH) of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, he created Portugal's first communications department and undergraduate degree.
Duarte Rodrigues advocated a theoretical approach to communication studies, rather than teaching specific techniques of journalism. He was named an extraordinary professor in 1979 and a full professor in 1980. He served as the college's director from 1988 to 1993 and the university's associate dean from 2001 to 2002, retiring and becoming a professor emeritus in 2012. A Festschrift in Duarte Rodrigues' honor, titled Comunicação e linguagens: Novas Convergências ("Communication and Languages: New Convergences"), was released in December 2015.
