Mediated Blackness: A Black Studies Approach to Digital Methods

Starting from the theoretical foundations of Black Digital Studies, this course offers students a survey of the diverse digital methods needed to understand and solve contemporary social phenomena and problems. Whether partnering with policymakers to create new Internet regulations or reporting on breaking news from Black Tik Tokers and other content creators, humanities students and practitioners are consistently faced with opportunities to solve problems related to race and technology, such as issues related to surveillance, mis/disinformation, and more. Ultimately, students will be able to apply a Black Digital Studies lens to an array of industries, including, but not limited to, the non-profit sector, research, journalism, content creation, and policy making.
