* '''[Winter 2024]''' '''History and Theory of Information''' (COMM_ST 395 | MTS 525, syllabus link forthcoming) — We live in an information age, with computers of unprecedented power in our pockets. This course seeks to understand how information shapes our lives today, and how it has in the past. It does so via an interdisciplinary inquiry into four technological infrastructures of information and communication—print, wires, airwaves, and bits. Co-taught by [[User:Aaronshaw|Aaron Shaw]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Immerwahr Daniel Immerwahr].

* '''[Winter 2022]''' '''[[Online_Communities_and_Crowds_(Winter_2022)|Online Communities & Crowds (COMM_ST 378 | MTS 525)]]'''– Online communities & crowds are fundamental to how people communicate, work, play, learn, socialize, and more. However, they also threaten our well-being and undermine critical social institutions as well as the integrity of public discourse. This (advanced undergraduate and graduate level) course seeks to understand online communities & crowds. It does so through an interdisciplinary inquiry into a set of practical challenges that confront online communities & crowds today. When and why do some efforts to overcome these challenges succeed? What insights and expectations can we draw from these experiences? Taught by [[User:Aaronshaw|Aaron Shaw]]

* '''[Spring 2019]''' '''[[Practice_of_scholarship_(Spring_2019)|The Practice of Scholarship (MTS 503, Spring 2019)]]''' — The second of two required seminars in the Media, Technology & Society (MTS) and Technology and Social Behavior (TSB) programs, the goal for this course is simple: submit a piece of academic research for publication by the end of the quarter. The course and assignments are structured to help students cultivate (more of) the skills, wisdom, and experience necessary to publish independent, original, and high-quality scholarship in relevant venues for their work. The experience will probably feel like a combination of a writing bootcamp and an extended group therapy session.
