Does social media bring us together truly bring us together – or does it push us apart? In what ways has social media complicated our daily lives, even when it has brought positive changes and advantages? This FIG explores these questions and more in search of what it means to be human in an increasingly online age. Through an exploration of media (J201: Media and Society) and art (AAD 250: Art & Human Values), we will think about the future of creativity, humanity, and social interaction in relation to social media.

This FIG is for students interested in animal behavior, especially primates, and includes field trips to see animals behaving. Example trips include the Oregon zoo and the Eugene Raptor Center.
