Digital technologies—especially social media and social networking—are shaping new behaviors, communication contexts, social practices, and
grassroots political movements around the world. Professor Hanson will focus on themes that reflect the shift from "old" to "new" media: online
social practices such as cyberbullying and identity formation, the idea that new technology leads to efficiency, and the belief that interactive media are more "democratic"—both in the United States and emerging power bases elsewhere.
