This module explores topical issues revolved around the digital self, personalisation and social media. It encourages critical perspectives on how digital technologies shape our sense of self and societies through various forms of digital engagements from selfie, self-tracking to online dating. By situating these practices within specific cultural, socioeconomic, political and technological contexts, students will develop nuanced understandings of theoretical debates surrounding the promises and pitfalls of social media and digital technologies.
