Intersections of Bodies and Technologies

This course challenges students to think critically and creatively about the boundaries and intersections of bodies and technology, and the ways in which these are mutually constitutive. Our goal is twofold: (1) to explore the sociological and ethical theories and frameworks that are implicated in these technologies and technological imaginaries, and (2) to examine how these are later experienced and enacted by us, the users. Students will be asked to conduct a qualitative research project on a topic pertaining to the course. Course credit exclusion: AP/COMN 3318 6.00 (prior to Fall 2012). PRIOR TO FALL 2012 AP/COMN 3318. PRIOR TO FALL 2009: Course credit exclusion: AS/SOSC 3318 6.00.
