CPEA 204 - Social Media from the Inside Out (4 Cr.)


You likely use social media all the time- to express yourself, connect with friends, and access culture and information. How does social media and the internet shape how we communicate today? In this class, we will explore this big question by engaging with social media at a deeper level and using it to achieve a collective artistic or activist goal. This class is based on group collaboration: working together to create a media production, put it out into the world, and connect with people around it, using social media. Your work can be creative, advocacy, entertaining, maybe all of the above- it’s really all about how you work together to create something meaningful and engage an audience with it. Along the way, you will get to peek behind the curtain to see how social media platforms work- as technologies, businesses, and communities- and gain some real world experience in how to use these tools beyond personal expression and day-to-day connections. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Kimball.
