Multiple Discourses in Media Literacy: Where to From Here?

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

Media Literacy has been on the rise within many disciplines including Communication Studies, both research and pedagogical strategies, for some time. Through the discussion of pedagogical practices from a variety of perspectives (e.g. media production, media research, service learning), we engage the current position of media literacy within the communication discipline, where the next steps for research and pedagogy might be, and how we can help this media-saturated society take those identified next steps.
