Using cutting-edge research into social media and existing work on community heritage projects, this course

will challenge its students to think through what digital citizenship means today. It comprises two parts: the first

explores theoretical discussions about social media and participatory culture. The second uses contemporary

digital tools to create real digital projects which aim to overcome barriers to inclusion, such as language,

inequality, (dis)ability, gender, location and connectivity. It will measure its success both by analyzing the

effectiveness of the design, as well as by measuring online impact of the real projects. By integrating

theoretical and practical research, the course aims to empower its students to think about media and

citizenship in the face of future struggles, and how digital technologies might help to promote genuine social

engagement.


This course is divided into three general topics: (1) Understanding the differences between Generations, (2)

how and in what way digital age can influence the society, the values and skills of generations (3) strategies

and techniques involving digital information age, digital communication, and effective youth development. The

goals of this course are for students to:

• Recognize the changing nature of technology and its impact on society

• Have a more structured understanding about strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and imminent threats of

the digital age

• Develop a basic appreciation of the complexities of human development during times of fast-paced

technological change

• Examine how the cultural, political, and economic environments are changing with the emergence of new

media and digital technologies

MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY

Tracing the modern development of human rights as a problem and a question, this course investigates how

the values, norms, and commitments of being a citizen-subject in today’s world are being challenged by an

emergent global ethic based on an idealization of humans coexisting beyond borders.

The central problem this course examines concerns the process of normative ethicopolitical self-

understanding that connects the values of citizens to non-citizens, foreigners, word travelers, migrants,

refugees, and others.

Following an intersectional analysis that leads to possibilities of a transformed future world where standards of

justice and the good life become diverse, globally inclusive practices, this course takes seriously the emergent

horizon of international possibilities for social engagement, social change, and future global identity.

In this course, students will be introduced to the conceptual knowledge of Corporate Social Responsibility

(CSR) as well as how to develop socially responsible strategies. In recent years, scholars and practitioners

have criticized corporate motives and tactics for CSR and research provides evidence that CSR strategies

developed solely for publicity can backfire in this day and age.

This course will address this social engagement gap of corporate responsibility in three short modules:

• Introduction of CSR: its history and conceptualization followed by two days of readings and discussions on

CSR practices globally.

• Three days will be spent on covering CSR strategies by examining case studies.

• Last two days will cover ethics in CSR, challenges and opportunities for professionals.

Classical political economy sought to conceptualize the linkages of political power to accumulated material

wealth. In so doing, it helped establish important theoretical foundations for the scientific understanding of

social behavior. Many influential sociologists, both classical and contemporary, developed their ideas while

engaged in dialogue with political economy. The purpose of this seminar is to examine the rise of political

economy and to trace its pervasive influence upon sociological. In so doing, we will explore some

contemporary applications of political economy in sociological research within the critical tradition.

In summary, the objectives of this course include: (1) gaining general knowledge about the roots of modern

social science; (2) obtain a working familiarity with scientific paradigms dedicated to critical and policy

analysis; and (3) enhancing professional note-taking, presentation, and writing skills.
