Section Title:
Social Spaces on the Internet
Section Info:
Topic: Culture as Data: Social Spaces on the Internet. The Internet is home to a panoply of varieties of human interaction. Social media, interactive games, telepresence, online environments, and simple text e-mails now mediate our normal experiences of education, medicine, politics, business, sociality, collective action, and more. As the Internet has become an infrastructure for social life and society itself, our ability to measure and represent that society is also transforming. In this cross-disciplinary university-wide seminar we will investigate the rise of "culture as data:" that is, the use of widespread networked computation to quantify, analyze, explain, and navigate our relationships to social institutions and each other. Special guest lectures and events sponsored by the Center for Advanced Study campus-wide initiative "Culture as Data" will enhance our work. Students from all disciplines and colleges are welcome. There are no pre-requisites. MEETS WITH CAS 587, section SSI (CRN 30145)
