Teaching Interests
I have been teaching courses on research methods in the social sciences, as well as courses focused on the social and political shaping of the Internet and related ICTs, and their implications for politics, organizations and everyday life. I enjoy would with students who have a background in theories and methods within the social sciences, but also value working in multidisciplinary teams with students anchored in computer sciences, Web science, and legal studies.
This site provides some of my course reading lists and syllabi over the years, which I will try to up-date from time to time.
The newest course I am developing for MSU is on media and information policy, so I would particularly value suggestions of key topics and readings.
