Free online course "Why We Post: the Anthropology of Social Media"


by Nathalie Knöhr
Dear all,
I just wanted to let you know that the free online course “Why We Post: the Anthropology of Social Media” starts again today.
It will be taught by Daniel Miller, Elisabetta Costa, Jolynna Sinanan, Juliano Spyer, Laura Haapio-Kirk, Nell Haynes, Razvan Nicolesu, Shriram Venkatraman, Tom McDonald, and Xinyuan Wang through the online platform FutureLearn.

About the course

This free online course is based on the work of nine anthropologists who each spent 15 months in fieldsites in Brazil, Chile, industrial and rural China, England, India, Italy, Trinidad and Turkey.

What are the consequences of social media?

The course offers a new definition of social media which concentrates on the content posted, not just the capabilities of platforms. It examines the increasing importance of images in communication and the reasons why people post memes, selfies and photographs.
Over five weeks you will explore the impact of social media on a wide range of topics including politics, education, gender, commerce, privacy and equality. You will come to understand how the consequences of social media vary from region to region.
