The course “Digital Media and Civil Society” introduces students to the intricate relationship between digital media technologies and the dynamics of civil society. As digital media have permeated all aspects of everyday life, it is crucial to understand how digital media shape and are shaped by the formation, organization and mobilization of civil society. The aim of this course is therefore to gain an in-depth understanding of the entanglement of digital media within the social organization of civil society. In particular, students will learn about the challenges and opportunities that digital media present for topics such as citizenship, civic participation, activism, inclusion, the public sphere, and social justice at large. By doing so, students will be able to (1) situate digital media within their social, cultural, political and economic contexts; (2) critically engage with the implications of digital media for the mobilization and practices of individuals, groups and organizations within civil society; (3) craft responses and formulate solutions to broader societal issues through the application of concepts, theories, and methodologies pertaining to digital media.

Het opleidingsonderdeel "Digital Media and Civil Society" introduceert studenten in de complexe relatie tussen digitale mediatechnologieën en de dynamiek van de burgermaatschappij. Aangezien digitale media alle aspecten van het dagelijks leven doordringen, is het van cruciaal belang te begrijpen hoe digitale media de vorming, organisatie en mobilisatie van de burgermaatschappij beïnvloeden en erdoor worden beïnvloed. Het doel van deze cursus is daarom een diepgaand begrip te krijgen van de verwevenheid van digitale media binnen de sociale organisatie van de burgermaatschappij. In het bijzonder zullen studenten leren over de uitdagingen en kansen die digitale media bieden voor onderwerpen zoals burgerschap, burgerparticipatie, activisme, inclusie, de publieke sfeer en sociale rechtvaardigheid in het algemeen. Door dit te doen, zullen studenten in staat zijn om (1) digitale media te situeren binnen hun sociale, culturele, politieke en economische contexten; (2) kritisch in te gaan op de implicaties van digitale media voor de mobilisatie en praktijken van individuen, groepen en organisaties binnen de burgermaatschappij; (3) antwoorden te formuleren en oplossingen te bedenken voor bredere maatschappelijke vraagstukken door het toepassen van concepten, theorieën en methodologieën met betrekking tot digitale media
