Course description

Social interaction in online spaces and with digital technologies is at the core of today¿s daily life. This course aims to explore in detail the key components of digital discourse, primarily focussing on conversations on social media, and provide students with the tools to analyse social interaction in those contexts. The data analysed in the course will come from various naturally-occurring conversations on social media as well as from human-computer interactions. The topics covered in the course will be indicative of the main discourses that are prevalent in digital and online settings.
