Today, media culture is one of the most dominant forces in society. It
contributes to how we define our sense of self and drives our
understanding of the “Other.” Media also perpetuates symbols, myths,
and serves as a resource for generating a common culture. This
multidisciplinary conference is designed to aid current educational
leaders, future teachers, youth, and other concerned citizens in their
understanding of the mass media and its impact on the events that
shape our daily lives. Promoting critical media literacy is essential
to excavating social inequalities and fostering participatory
democracy during the 21st century. As new literacies are introduced
the effects of media continue to change and evolve. This year’s
conference theme is The Evolution of Critical Media Literacy and
focuses on past, current, and future trends in critical media
literacy.
We enthusiastically call for paper proposals that urgently and
critically redefine, redirect, and rec- reate notions of knowledge,
truth, and justice through (and with) critical media literacy and
pedagogy.
* All papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will
be open-access.
