How to deal with the challenge of declining trust in traditional media in an increasingly digital world? How can you increase citizen participation via digital platforms among underrepresented groups? These real-world scenarios highlight the intersections between digitalization and societal themes.
In this course, you will explore key theoretical frameworks and engage in critical analysis of the implications of digital technologies on democratic processes and citizenship by identifying underlying assumptions, biases, and power dynamics. You will assess the strengths and weaknesses of existing policies and practices in addressing digital citizenship and democratic challenges, and synthesize insights from multiple disciplines into innovative solutions for real-world issues involving digital citizenship and democracy.
