Dear Nishant, While many Information Studies/Information Science degrees are postgraduate, there are also undergraduate programmes out there (e.g., ours in Information and Social Computing - http://www.ucd.ie/sils) in which I think there would be a lot of overlap with the kinds of issues you are talking about, regards, Lee Lee Komito (e) lee.komito@ucd.ie School of Information & Library Studies (p) +353.1.7167594 University College Dublin (f) +353.1.7161161 Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland (w) www.ucd.ie/lkomito On 11/02/2013 14:00, Nishant Shah wrote:
Dear All, We are right now trying to conceptualise what an undergraduate degree programme in Digital Cultures could look like. We have been trawling the web but largely we come across graduate programmes that offer it as a degree, and I was wondering if anybody has pointers on where to look and what to keep in mind while trying to conceptualise a degree programme like this.
Links to programmes that you think are successful, or just reminders about disciplines/stakes that need to be factored in to build a Bachelor's programme that brings in Historical Review + Critical philosophy + Media Studies + Social Science & Humanities Critique + Computing and Management skills, with a global perspective would be greatly appreciated.
If you are already running courses in this field, also, do get in touch because we are thinking of a distributed course creation, and would also be able to commission existing experts from around the world to help us do the design in the coming year or two. Warmly Nishant
