COR 3740 New Media and Social Transformation

(formerly COR 374)

New Media and Social Transformation is a course about understanding, identity and transformation in a changing environment. Human existence in the era of the Anthropocene requires a new way of thinking and living and relating to the natural environment. In an era of rapid change - both technologically and environmentally, gaining an understanding of who we are and how we relate to the earth and to each other, both offline and online, helps us grow, learn and advance in our lives in the variable present. This course explores identity and the humanities through the frame of new media, religion, media, archeology, ecology, environmentalism and literature. Core courses are not open to Freshmen or Sophomores, except for associate degree candidates.
