• In Event: Critical Digital Literacies, Interrogating Power, Genre, and Audience

Abstract

Critical media literacy is a theory and inquiry-based pedagogical process that investigates the relationships between audiences and media, information, and power. More research is needed with teachers to understand how this theory is adapted into practice. This critical qualitative case study reveals how critical media literacy can be a crucial pedagogical toolkit to adapt in the moment to help deconstruct some of the most complex and unprecedented sociopolitical challenges facing our democracy.
