Section Title:
Unorthodox Research Methods
Section Info:
Covers very recent developments in both qualitative and quantitative social scientific research methods and addresses the question of how new research methods are invented, applied, transferred between problems and disciplines, and formalized. The overall focus will be research design, rather than learning the procedures of a single method. The new methodological trends to be examined this year will be: Internet / new media research, new digital sources of data (sometimes called "big data" or "e-social science"), spatial / geographic methods, visualization as a research method, and unobtrusive methods.

Section Title:
Digital Media Theory
Section Info:
Topic: Digital Media Theory: Participatory Media and Identity 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.
