About the minor...By minoring in Digital Technologies and Culture, students will strengthen their abilities to become critical producers and consumers of media.

They will study the cultural, psychological, economic and political significance of web technologies and social networks.

Students will learn how to create media and study how digital technologies such as mobile phones, virtual worlds, wikis and video blogs contribute to culture and public discourse.

Students will engage in the creation of online social and collaborative environments.

They also will consider ethical and legal issues, including (re) definitions of copyright law and personal and public space.

Additionally, students will investigate the effects on orality, writing and interpersonal and mass communication that come with developments in digital technology.
