Theorizing the Digital
Summer Term 2023
Course Objectives
This course is designed to develop well-founded knowledge and transdisciplinary perspectives on digitization as well as foster the exchange among participants regarding their PhD projects. We will critically reflect and discuss papers that examine “the digital” from various angles and offer PhD candidates the possibility to discuss their project with the other students and the DP faculty.
The main objective of the course is to equip students with a transdisciplinary lens on digital phenomena and to establish a common basis of knowledge among the participants of the doctoral program #OrganizingtheDigital. Moreover, the specific setting of this course allows participants and faculty members of the DP to share knowledge, insights, develop a common interest and collective identity.
