Digital Media Theory Seminar: Participatory Media and Identity Course description: Media consumers are spending increasing amounts of time online producing, spreading, and modifying digital media. Media platforms such as digital games, websites, social networks, and online communities are sites where users engage with identities such as race, ethnicity, gender, nation, age, and youth. In addition, new forms of labor are occurring on the Internet. These are unevenly distributed due to factors such as class, place, skill, and cultural capital. This course will examine how identities are produced and consumed in digital form as well as the possibilities for social justice movements online.
