CT 4500 - Social Media and Contemporary Culture

(3)
This course examines social media as a means of shaping and reflecting contemporary culture.  Course content is based on the foundation of “media-as-environment” (media ecology), constructed by human beings, within which we live our lives and use media to meet personal needs.  The primary goal of the course is to understand the central place of mediated communication in many aspects of culture including, but not limited to, consciousness, personal identity, social movements, politics, popular culture, law, news media, propaganda, and so on.
