Social Networks & Digital Lives 1

(5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course looks at the trends in the digital society - inequality, big data, changing norms, loss of privacy, gamification, changing ways of producing and consuming new - and asks what are the implications for our everyday lives and for the institutions and norms which shape how we live, of the increased connectedness of our age. We will explore the structure and features of digital technologies and social networks and their implications for collective behavior from economic, political and social perspectives.
