What it covers
In this unit you will explore the distinctiveness of Asia as a negotiated terrain for digital media research. You will learn about specific historical trajectories that frame the digitization of Asian societies, patterns of digital inclusion and exclusion prevalent in them, and the particular digital media ecologies that mediate policies and practices in Asian contexts. You will apply knowledge gained through readings and workshops to an original research project dedicated to the collection and analysis of primary data using qualitative digital methods, which will be undertaken in groups.
