For the reflective assignment: The readings of week 10 (Dyer & Abidin/ Siles, Gomez-Cruz & Ricaurte) present several possibilities for researching identities in the context of platforms and algorithms. Choose one (and only one) concept present in one of the readings and write a brief research proposal that you would like to develop. What would be the main research question? What would be the main argument? Which gap would you address on the subject? “Reflecting” are short essays of 750-1000 characters (not words) with the aim of relating concepts and keywords (based on readings and classes) with examples from everyday life (such as social media platforms). This is a space for you to deepen some of the in-class discussions and active learning notes that you have been developing.
For the think-in & think-out: Thinking In: Students should paste a note that demonstrates some thoughtful engagement of three-four sentences, based on a keyword or concept with the readings and a discussion question based on the readings. They are active class notes! And need your own insights. Think-out: need to consider something substantive (at least a full sentence) that they learned. (will give an example)
All the readings you need, i will give to you. please in MLA style and reflecting assignment and think-in& think-out assignment should in different documents.
