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 will focus on a project that involved high school students, as well as pre-service and in-service teachers as they engaged in digital and in-person experiences designed to support the development of critical literacies. For high school students, these experiences were designed to support them as they developed and reflected on their identities as social justice-oriented citizens in their local and global communities. Teachers (both in-service and pre-service) considered the added layer of what it looks like and feels like to develop, enhance and refine their identities as social justice-oriented educators who are thinking deeply and supporting the development of critical literacies in their classrooms.
