Understanding how mobile media are involved in personal, professional, and social contexts is critical to working with, and in, media. This course will provide you with analytical tools for investigating the design and use of mobile media and platforms. It will also provide you with frameworks for interpreting the relationships between mobile media, social networks, and cultural contexts. We will focus on the choices made in app design and how these relate to the social and communicative practices in which apps are involved. While we will explore a wide range of mobile media, there will be ample opportunity to investigate the apps that you regularly use, and to critically reflect on how they impact your experience of daily life.
