COMM 1306 - Social Media in Contemporary Society


Credits: 3

With the advent and proliferation of new communication technologies, interpersonal relationships and communities have taken on new forms, transcending space and time, challenging our definitions of what “relationships” and “community” can be. In this course, we will examine theories and concepts pertaining to the development of interpersonal relationships and communities in mediated contexts, the role of culture in shaping those contexts, and the social consequences of new communication technologies.
