What will I learn?

MA Internet Equalities explores how power relations and structures of oppression are organised, embedded, and perpetuated by the internet across full stack technologies. ‘Stacks’ refer to the tangible layers of technology in its physical architecture – such as data and archives, infrastructure, tools, and code – but also to the essential, less tangible dimensions. These include the ways that the mediating structures through which interdependent digital systems are accessed, experienced and integrated can perpetuate and amplify offline inequalities in online spaces.These layers shape the entire spectrum of knowledge creation and dissemination, impacting who is included in or excluded from digital systems often reinforcing uneven and unequal conditions in distribution, capabilities, literacy, resources, reception, access and use.In your practice-based or practice-led final project, you will address an internet inequality, exploring how the internet can be reimagined and whom it can serve in alternative digital futures that prioritise equity, inclusivity, and justice at every layer of the technology stack.
