Digital Media and Transgressive Communication is a PhD-level course that examines boundary-breaking forms of communication in digital and digitalised media. The course introduces key theoretical perspectives on platform affordances, context collapse, epistemic insecurity, and informational threats, and explores how these dynamics affect public discourse, polarisation, and democratic communication. Participants apply these perspectives to their own research through workshops, discussions, and a short academic paper.
