Section 01: Internet Culture & Open Access
Taught by: Sean Andrews (Communication and Culture)
Mondays 9:00-11:50am, 33, #302
This course will consider the tensions and overlaps between open access and contemporary capitalist property regimes and the way digital platforms have allowed for greater access to the creation, distribution and consumption of culture. Looking at the social and technological innovations that have allowed the open web to flourish, the class will evaluate the impact cultures of open access and online collaboration have had on global information inequality. Students will also consider this impact as they create an innovative and collaborative development of open access resources.
