Humanities 3314 Inclusion in the Digital Age
Instructor: Ruby Montana
Throughout history, humans have reduced entire groups of people as ‘inferior’ while proclaiming others as superior. This dichotomy includes moral, physical, and intellectual inferiority or superiority. With these distinctions come great struggles such as war, enslavement, ostracization, murder, etc. Our knowledge of such occurrences has been greatly influenced by the communication technology used to share knowledge and information. In this course we will objectively examine core components of ‘Othering’, while comparing our own digital culture including Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok with their antecedents.
