[geogu-l] faculty panel: Is Social Networking Bad For Democracy?

[Richard Roth]

Can Facebook and Twitter make us better citizens? Is social networking
effective as political involvement? How can social networks lead to social
and political change in a digital era? Is sharing your opinion or making a
donation the same thing as civic engagement?

 

To explore these questions and more, join a faculty panel and your peers at
SLinkSlam for a forum on "Social Networking, Political Advocacy and
Citizenship in a Digital Age."

 

  When: Wednesday, February 24, at 3:30pm

 

  Where: SMI 120

 

  Featured Faculty:

    Lance Bennett, Political Science & Communication,

    Kirsten Foot, Communication,

    Hanson Hosein, Masters of Communication in Digital Media Program

 

SLinkSlam is a great opportunity to participate in discussion of a hot topic
with faculty outside classroom. Bring your questions about social networking
and political participation. And bring your friends--ALL ARE WELCOME to
attend!

 

SLinkSlam is hosted by SLink, the Social Sciences Link, and supported by the
College of Arts and Sciences.
