CIVIC MEDIA, TACTICAL MEDIA in Spring 2020 (CM3082)

This course addresses the use of communication technologies for mediating public discourse, organizing democratic protests or denouncing state violence. Through a practice and research-based approach to digital media productions, we interrogate the media’s capacity to produce “civic media”, in other words design a space of possibility, “a way of imagining a future of technology that [is] pro-social and for public benefit.”
