The course is aimed at understanding how we pass information through oral, written, and computer cultures and how the technologies we use interact with the ways we communicate. In coming to understand orality, literacy, and computer technology, students are confronting a range of texts-- history, cultural studies, literary theory, postcolonial studies, media studies, sociology, anthropology, sound studies, and art. A primary learning outcome is for students to understand that citation is a political act and a sign of respect for oneself and others. I hope to assign my students a citation traceback on Wikipedia to encourage them to evaluate their sources.
