ONLINE LECTURE SERIES “CRITICAL MEDIA LITERACY: A CHALLENGE FOR TEACHER EDUCATION AND BEYOND”
With this lecture series entitled “Critical Media Literacy: A Challenge for Teacher Education and Beyond”, a joint initiative by the Heidelberg School of Education and Teachers College (Columbia University) aims for a transatlantic collaborative dialogue at the intersection of various disciplines and didactics. Lecturers, students, teachers, educators and various stakeholders in education are welcome to join in.
This talk describes a project that brings together citizen media analysis and conversation analysis in the context of conversations about race in a rural county in the northeastern United States. In summer 2020, just after the Republican National Conference, marchers loosely associated with the Black Lives Matter movement were shot at by a local citizen.
The talk first describes the incident and its aftermath, and then invites participants to participate in a data session, comparing transcripts of talks from the Republican Convention with data from local responses to the events—including letters to the editor from the local paper, tweets and facebook posts, and transcripts from press events held by the local police department.
