Call for Lesson Plans: Teaching Media Quarterly Vol. 4, No. 2


“Media and Environment: Teaching in/about the Anthropocene”

Submission deadline: Earth Day, April 22, 2016


/Teaching Media Quarterly/ seeks lesson plans that ask students to
critically engage with the complex relationship between media and the
environment. We ask for submissions that explicate the role of media
discourses and media technologies in light of growing concerns about an
array of environmental issues including, but not limited to, climate
change, drought, food justice, resource extraction, and migration. We
encourage pedagogical perspectives informed by research and activism
that examine the natural sciences, journalism, materiality, popular
culture, and cultural studies within the context of environmental thought.


We invite submitters to consider the following potential topics as
inspiration:

▪ Media technology and their material consequences

▪ News media and climate change/justice

▪ Representations of nature and/or environmentalism in popular culture

▪ Green and environmentalist media

▪ Greenwashing and corporate communications

▪ Advocacy campaigns produced by students and/or social movements
