> > Theory and Practice
> >
> > The two events will explore the relation between theory and practice in
> > media teaching in higher education. Practice in this context refers
> to
> > teaching related to the production of media artefacts or performances,
> and
> > not to educational practice more generally. The events are
> designed
> > to
> > examine the tensions between the critical and vocational dimensions of
> > media
> > study.
> >
> > The first day will focus broadly on the problems that grow out of this
> > tension between critical and vocational demands, offering a dissection
> of
> > the current state of the field, and a historical perspective on how
> media
> > education has developed. The second day will focus on the road ahead,
> > and
> > on ways of managing the relation between theory and practice in the
> > future.
> > Both days will aim to include both overviews and case studies.
