Social Media Pro-Seminar

Catalog description

This graduate-level seminar is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the complex and rapidly-evolving landscape of social media research and theory. It is offered as a 1.5-credit course with the option to repeat so that students can enroll for both semesters. In this seminar, we will examine current research in social media, investigate critical questions from various methodological perspectives, and address the contemporary debates about social media and technology in the research field and public discourse. While the seminar focuses on social cognition and social influence, it covers a broad spectrum of topics spanning digital technologies, social behaviors, and society.
