CVIN 305: Digital Media and Citizenship

Students will confront questions and issues related to the ways that digital forms of media, especially social media, affect our understanding of citizenship, our involvement in civic life, and our understanding of community. Discussions, readings, and other course materials will focus on the intersections between civic engagement and digital media, including such topics as digital literacy, digital ethics, the information divide, collective identity, civic participation, and cultural analysis of digital media.
