COMM 323 Digital Cultures: Communication and Social Media

Communicators are challenged to develop literacies and competencies in what currently resembles a whirlwind of perpetually emerg-ing communication technologies . Tracing the trajectory of participatory or “social” cultures, we will investigate the impact of these tools on meaning making practices . A hands-on approach grounds this course and its engagement in the long-standing debates in media and cultural theory.
