    Course description

It is commonly understood that the Internet now affects almost every 
aspect of society– from knowledge sharing to economic interactions – and 
of personal life (digital divide permitting). Understanding the 
relationship between Internet and society is a complex matter, since its 
shape and its evolution are not an immutable technological law, but 
instead the consequence of specific choices, both private and public, 
that could – at least in principle – very well change over time.

This course – addressed to students of all Doctoral Programmes – is 
aimed at providing an interdisciplinary overview of a selection of 
Internet & Society topics currently addressed by scholars at global 
level, all of which have tangible implications in many domains, and may 
very well suggest new lines of reasoning to ongoing research of PhD 
candidates.

These topics include, but are not limited to:

  * knowledge creation and sharing in the digital environment, applied,
    e.g., to scientific publications, addressing legal and social
    aspects of Open Access publishing, and to software, discussing the
    principles and applications of Free Software;
  * the role of the Internet in the evolution of journalism, civic
    hacking, and civic engagement;
  * the evolution of the Internet architecture and protocols with
    respect to entrepreneurial models, and the economic environment;
  * the future of Internet & Society research, also taking into account
    ongoing technological innovations such as the Internet of things,
    discussing their opportunities and risks.

All topics will be addressed from a interdisciplinary point of view 
(i.e., considering at least two disciplines) and making a broad use of 
examples.
