COM* 113: Social Media in Contemporary Society3 Credits Interpersonal relationships and community have traditionally been conceptualized as created through face-to-face interaction. However, with the advent and proliferation of new communication technologies, interpersonal relationships and communities have taken on a new face and form, transcending space and time, challenging our definitions and perceptions of what “relationships” and “community” are and can be. In this course, we will examine theories and concepts pertaining to interpersonal relationships and community, literature that applies these to new technologies, as well as literature that offers new findings and theories on the interfaces between them. We will also critically examine the role that new technologies are having on our thought processes, education, civic and social life. Prerequisites: COM* 100 Offered: Occasionally
