[Air-L] Pointers for Undergraduate degrees in Digital Cultures

[Nishant Shah]

Dear Cindy,
Thank you very much for this reference. I have had a quick look at the EMAC
structure and I must say it makes me wish I was an undergrad student again
and had the possibility of enrolling in a programme like this. It sounds
fantastic, and while our own location is not within Art and Technology
studies, definitely would serve as an inspiration in terms of what a course
like this could look like. We should have a first outline for the course,
and I will make sure to share it with the list and with you as well.
Warm regards
Nishant
