Re: [Air-L] Understanding Social Media

Hi Kayla, I teach a course in social media and, like Marj, find that it is really difficult to cover all of the related topics. I organize the course around four 'themes': privacy, copyright, digital inclusion and political participation. Last semester, I used Mandiberg's Social Media Reader as a source of foundational material--good material for a grad student course. But I also have found it neccessary to supplement quite a bit with additional readings. I am happy to share my syllabus off-list if it would be helpful.
