CPEC 205 - Evolving Networks: Beyond Facebook (4 Cr.)

(GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
“Evolving Networks: Beyond Facebook” explores the impact of networks in historical, present-day, and future applications. By locating and analyzing visualizations of networks in a range of interdisciplinary fields and mediums, students will determine how past and present societies’ perspectives of the connections between people, places, and words both help and hurt its members. Students will create their own networking visualizations in independent, paired, and small groupd teams which represent personal mappings, Goucher and class connections, and new and/or revised community and/or global relationships. The course, itself, will be addressed as a network which grows and shifts with the vision and needs of its members as it explores the questions: What types of networks are needed to advance and reform our world and how can we represent these networks in a visual, accessible, and productive way? Restricted to first-year through junior students, and others with instructor permission. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. J-Term 2019. Cottle.
