The course traces the development of communication technologies and examines their collective and cumulative influence on society and culture. The course also looks at how the social uses of technology shape the development and application of the technology in question. The dialogic nature of the course encourages comparative analysis across history and cultures. The course engages students in the issues of media literacy, cyberbullying, cyber (un)safety, digital cultures, governance, and justice- theoretically and by drawing on their lived experiences – globally, nationally, locally.
