The Culture and Technology Studies major offers students a flexible program of study with which to explore the role of culture and creativity in an increasingly technological world, using technologies themselves as part of the process. It emerges from the insight that technology is inextricably linked to human experience, culture, and society. Students in Culture and Technology Studies will tackle the complex relationships among power, digital knowledge, digital cultures, the representation of data, and the ethical questions surrounding the development, deployment, and accessibility of technological objects and processes. Culture and Technology Studies builds an understanding of the digital mediation of cultural processes and the role humans play in technological work. Students learn digital methods for intervening in the contemporary world as versatile creators, curators, communicators, and citizens. Experiential learning opportunities, including working with community partners, are embedded as an integral part of the program. Students may select one of three optional Areas of Emphasis.
