ENG 587 Methods and Theories in Media Studies 
This seminar will explore key theoretical and methodological issues in media studies. We will discuss approaches, paradigms, as well as discourses about media landscapes and objects in order to prepare students to engage in various forms of research. Topics will include historiography, media archaeology, ethnographic approaches to media, cultural hierarchy and taste, formalism and aesthetics, feminist theory, and analyses of political economy and media institutions. We will engage with a variety of media, from broadcast television and cinema to mobile technologies and social networks.

HI 534 Theory and Practice of Digital History 
Introduces students to the theory and practice of digital history. Students will examine theoretical scholarship on digital practices in history, learning how to acquire, edit, process, analyze, and present humanistic data. Students will critique examples of digital history including digital archives, exhibits, scholarship, and teaching resources, and then apply conceptual knowledge in the creation of their own digital history projects. The course is geared to students without prior knowledge of coding. Credit will not be given for both HI 434 and HI 534.

AMST 475H Documenting Communities (UNC)
Documenting Communities engages students with the ways that communities (in the broadest sense) have been, are, and might be preserved, documented, represented, understood, and remembered.  We now have immediate access to billions of primary sources through which communities were documented over more than 200 years in the U.S.: census enumerations, death certificates, grave markers, marriage certificates, and other records.  All students, faculty and staff at UNC now have immediate access to more than 3.7 million pages of local North Carolina newspapers (most of them published before 1923).  The UNC North Carolina Collection and Southern Historical Collection represent unique archival holdings that document individuals, families, and communities in our state and region, including millions of photographs, thousands of photographs, maps, and oral history interviews.

VMS 564S Physical Computing and the Internet of Things (Duke)
Since 2014, the number of connected devices has exceeded the number of humans online. The “Internet of Things” therefore represents a significant paradigm-shift in what it means to live in a networked society. This course considers the implications of this digital ecology and seeks to equip students with the conceptual and technical skills necessary for critical and creative engagement with the so-called “smart things.” No prerequisites beyond a willingness to work hard, collaborate, learn, tinker, play.
