This course focuses on the impact of social media messages. Students develop a working knowledge of contemporary contexts for social media usage; an understanding of socially-mediated messaging strategies; and an appreciation of the new means by which information and culture are being shared and organized. Working in small groups, students will design "white papers" that address the legal, ethical, interpersonal and political challenges that arise from social media use. In addition, students will acquire the ability to make critical and ethical assessments of socially mediated practices. CHALS, Offered occasionally.
