Applied Studies Seminar: Tech, Self, Soc Self, and Society

Catalog description

This professional, hybrid-format seminar is open to both Applied Studies and BA Liberal Arts students and provides an opportunity for students to connect their technical, professional and personal knowledge to current issues related to Technology, Self and Society. Together we will think about the development and influence of technology from a postmodern perspective. Some of the issues we’ll reflect on together include: the historical development of technology, its various impacts on the self, identity, relationship, society, culture, globalization, economy and business. We’ll also attempt to define technological trends and speculate about the future direction and impact of technology. Because this is an Applied Studies Seminar, students will be asked to reflect upon what they’re learning and apply it directly to their professional, personal, or political interests, depending on their current program of study.
