LIS 202: Informational Divides and Differences in a Multicultural Society
This 100% online asynchronous course explores the impact of and barriers to access to information on the lives of low-income ethnic/racial minority communities in the United States. The course provides an introduction to contemporary information society from a sociological perspective.
In this course we will explore issues relating to information inequalities, differences or "digital divides" in the US with particular attention to underrepresented groups in the Northern Midwest including African-American, Hmong, Latino/a and Native American. Information inequalities include disparities in awareness of, ownership of, access to, and use of various information and communication technologies for the purposes of health, education, economic development and social expression. Through this exploration we will examine traditional and online institutions that create or channel information to communities of interest including community centers, schools, libraries, and medical clinics. Skills covered will include application of theoretical frameworks; critique and discussion of academic debates; and the use of databases to locate information related to demographics in the Upper Midwest.
