Through discussion board assignments and individual research projects, we will cover topics including but not limited to: communities that share videos, creative texts and narratives; specific fan communities; online support groups; online (and app-facilitated) dating; occupational folk culture in online spaces; transactional communities such as Yelp, Uber, eBay and Etsy; religious communities’ use of virtual spaces for worship and fellowship; “influencer” culture; and many other phenomena.
