Social Media & Society

COMM-6897

Social media impacts our everyday lives; it affects how we develop our sense of identity, how we communicate with others and develop relationships, and how we find information about topics, products, pop culture, and politics. Simultaneously, social media reciprocally reflects existing social dynamics. This course explores those dynamics and that reciprocal relationship. Specifically, rather than a “how-to” course, this course explores theoretical approaches to social media, including identity formation, community formation, surveillance, and digital labor.
