In this course, students will learn about the emerging field of internet studies. We begin the course by reading classic texts from the sociology of technology, highlighting theories and methods of science and technology studies from a range of critical perspectives. The main focus of the course will be a survey of contemporary books and articles engaging with the study of information and communication technologies. The final project for the course will include students designing and scripting a rigorously researched episode for a podcast series called “This is Internet Studies.”
