Institution:

Millersville University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Educational Foundations

Description:

All the world's a stage famously open Act II of As You Like It, a Shakespearean comedy uniquely positioned to showcase the valleys and peaks of human experience. Interestingly, as the world's stages become increasingly technological and anonymous, how youth learn, think, and find voice has also shifted. Looking beyond the social posturing characteristic of today's selfie generation, these contexts offer incredible insights about the nature of learning and identity development. This course will explore the work of social theorists, technology gurus, public policy makers, and youth participants who continue to grapple with ever-changing landscape of social media. Using major current events as a lens: #EgyptianRevolution #OccupyWallStreet #RapeCulture #AllLivesMatter #Islamphobia, this course explores social media as a culturally mediated/sustaining response and practice worldwide.
