Detailed Information
Participation in social media is now an integral part of our lives, whether we read, comment and like or we actively create content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogs, and other social network sites. This participation entails a representation of the self, written, visual, or quantitative.
In IS30350 The Digital Self we will focus on the ways we represent ourselves through digital technologies, and look to critical, theoretical and ethical tools to critically assess the digital self.
