My graduate course on Metaverse this semester

One of Bilgi Media MA’s graduate courses is called “Issues in Cyberculture Studies” The course name gives me the flexibility to choose a  new “issue” every semester. Sometimes, I have chosen several issues but this semester I will focus on Metaverse. In the context of social sciences, this is such an emerging issue that there is not very substantive scholarly work yet.

Here is the syllabus for this semester. In addition to weekly readings, we are Neal Stephenson’s novel and discuss it through the semester as it is the very first place where the concept of the metaverse is mentioned.

I continue to collect new scholarly pieces in this folder. You can have a look.

I collect news stories on the topic here. The course is inevitably tied to developments in the industry.
