Communication 497DL - ST-Digital Labor & Tech Work

This course will examine the different kinds of labor that go into making digital technologies and the ecologies of work that sustain them. We will engage with ongoing debates about online labor (both paid and unpaid), tech entrepreneurship, and the production of consumer electronics like the iPhone. By the end of the course, you should have a critical understanding of the economic and social forces underlying shifts in digital labor and technology work.

Open to Senior and Junior Communication majors only.
