Digital Media in Politics and Society
Lecture Script
Welcome and housekeeping
Welcome to the lecture notes to Digital Media in Politics and Society. The lecture series is developed and written by Andreas Jungherr, Professor for Political Science, especially Digital Transformation at the University of Bamberg, Germany. The lectures are designed for the Master Degree programme in political science at the University of Bamberg and its focus areas Computational Social Science and Governance of Innovative and Complex Technological Systems.
This course follows the flipped-classroom approach. In class, we will discuss the topic of the respective session and any open questions you might have. In order to profit from these sessions, it is mandatory that you read the notes to the respective session and listen to the lectures. Both will be made available approximately one week before the respective topic is discussed in class. In the final session of the course, there will be an exam testing you on what you have taken away from the class. In preparation for the exam, make sure to study the review questions made available to you on this site.
You can find the script to this lecture on this website.
For ease of use, there also is a pdf version of the script available here. Please note that the pdf will be updated during the course of the semester.
There is a podcast accompanying the lecture series which is available on your podcast platform of choice or on YouTube.
