Emneoversikt

This course consists of three modules, each lasting three weeks. After each module, you will write a draft paper. At the end of the semester, you choose two of the three papers, revise and expand them, and hand them in for assessment.

In 2016 the three modules will be:

  • Surveillance (taught by Rolf Beev)
  • Digital Media Ethics (taught by Jill Walker Rettberg)
  • Online Identity (taught by Daniel Apollon). 

Rolf Beev is the course coordinator, so general questions should be addressed to him, using the Inbox in the red sidebar on the left of the screen.
