<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:SV">This course engages with contemporary information infrastructures and their conceptual foundations and relates them to current “information disorders” (e.g. so-called misinformation,
disinformation, conspiracy narratives, influence operations). The course offers the opportunity to engage with theoretical perspectives on these issues as well as with critical perspectives on media and information literacy and source criticism. It provides
an opportunity for reflection on how to conceptualise the growing datafication of all aspects of society and the implications of this for the social study of information.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:SV">The course runs at half speed and is divided into an introduction followed by five Zoom sessions. Each session focuses on a specific sub-topic and includes a lecture and
a seminar. To receive 5 credits (the minimum requirement), participants should submit a short reflection paper in relation to each session and attend and participate in both the lectures and seminars. Preparation in the form of provided reading and self-selected
literature is required for each session. To receive a further 2.5 credits, participants should write a final paper linking the course content to their own dissertation project.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
