Race and the Digital: Racial Formation and 21st Century Technologies

The Digital Divide

Using readings in ethnic studies and media studies, statistical data on Internet usage, and primary analysis of a new media source, students at UCLA have prepared reports that describe various aspects of the digital divide. Their evaluations foreground the ways race shapes the nature of access/participation within information and communication technologies (ICTs) and reflects on the broader significance of ICT access and inaccess for minoritized communities.
