An introduction to digital methods for the study of digitally mediated social phenomena. This course explores two major methodological traditions – controversy mapping and the ethnography of digital activities – equipping students with both quantitative and qualitative approaches to digital research. Students learn how to collect, visualize, and interpret data from web sources, as well as how to conduct qualitative, problem-oriented analyses of digital practices. The course combines theoretical grounding with hands-on exercises, culminating in group poster projects where students apply course methods to real-world issues.
