Description

The topic for 2024/25 will be 'The Sociology and Politics of the Digital Age'.

This interdisciplinary module engages critically with the technology and politics of the digital age. Drawing on work from history, sociology, political and cultural theory, this module will consider the history and social shaping of the internet, and the political, social and cultural logics (e.g. surveillance capitalism, network society, globalization, big data) that have both shaped the technology and also have been shaped or enabled by it. 听This will be achieved by considering a wide range of different issues, for example big data, AI, surveillance capitalism, social media and democracy, identities and digital technology, mass media, misinformation.

This module will equip students to critically examine and research the internet, digital technologies and media, digital cultures and the social and political processes that both create and underlie them.听
