A student visa requires a full-time CRICOS-registered course, and single subjects have no CRICOS registration. If you’re studying in Australia on a student visa, you’ll need a full qualification instead.
See CRICOS-registered alternativesPolitics, Society and Technology explores how technology affects politics and society, and in turn how different political actors use technology for varying objectives. Students will be introduced to conceptual and theoretical approaches as well as research methods to understand and explain the roles and influence of technology in politics and society. Some technologies have been used to create critical moments for political and social change. Other technologies, by contrast, are used to tighten censorship, surveillance or manipulate political communication. The unit engages students in nuanced discussions about these technologies and their role to critically interrogate: How has technology changed politics? How are societies using digital technology to create social and political change? Why are certain groups or societies affected negatively by certain technologies? What are the approaches to govern and regulate technologies and their roles? Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
