About this course

Digital media, culture, and social anthropology brings together three disciplines that, between them, provide a remarkably complete lens for understanding contemporary social life. Digital media studies examines how platforms, algorithms, and networked communication shape culture, politics, and identity. Cultural studies interrogates the meanings, practices, and power relations embedded in media, texts, and everyday life. Social anthropology investigates how human societies organise themselves, how culture is produced and transmitted, and what people's lives look like from the inside. Together, these approaches give you both the critical tools to analyse media and technology and the ethnographic sensibility to understand them in their social and cultural contexts. At the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, this three-year full-time degree carries the distinctive character
