-This course ​is critical, collective immersion ​into the theories ​and practices ​of social networkingonline ​and offRather than simply taking established platforms like Facebook and Snapchat for granted, we will consider a wide variety of networks in order to expand our tactical repertoires. We will study the dominant structures ​and business models of the social-media ecosystem in order to spread messages effectively. But will we also explore ways of transforming that ecosystem by creating ​networks ​of our own. +
- +
-Students need not have prior experience with particular networked platforms, but they should expect ​to teach themselves some. Throughout the course, students will conduct action research toward developing a new platform or improving an existing one.+
