Mobile (Media) Constructions of Place

Sat, April 14, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Millennium Broadway New York Times Square, Floor: Third Floor, Room 3.04-3.05

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The places of learning are increasingly fluid—mobile—blurring binaries of digital and physical, formal and informal, global and local. These blurred boundaries stem, in part, from the fact that learners—along with their digital, mobile media—are increasingly on the move. Place, and place-based pedagogies, however, are often described as static, stable, and bounded, with little attention given to how place is made and re-made through connections to other places, things, people, and discourses. Place, as the papers in this symposium show, is continuously made and re-made by people who move with—and are moved by— digital media.
