Dear colleagues,
I'd like to invite you to a public debate entitled, 'Who needs media
literacy?' being held in London on 28 July from 6:00-7:30. The aim of
the debate will be to generate a dialogue between researchers the
policy-makers who are responsible for this area. How do researchers define
media literacy, and what do they know about it? How does media literacy
develop, and how can it best be promoted or taught? And what do
policy-makers need to know about media literacy?
The session will be introduced by David
Buckingham (Institute of Education), and will
feature short presentations from three leading
researchers in this area: Henry Jenkins (MIT),
Mizuko Ito (University of Southern California)
and Sonia
Livingstone (LSE). These will be followed by brief responses from
policy-makers: Cary Bazelgette (bfi), Robin Blake
(Ofcom) and Sylvia Hines (BBC). There will then
be an opportunity for dialogue and debate among
the
audience.
The event will take place at the Institute of Education’s Logan Hall,
Bedford Way, London WC1, and will be followed by a drinks reception. It
will be open to the public as well as to delegates at the ‘Digital
Generations’ conference (which runs from 26th-29th July). ‘Digital
Generations: Children, Young People and New Media’ is a major international
conference, bringing together over 200 researchers from more than 35
countries. For more details, see:
