The RedMIL 2018 doctoral summer school aims at contributing to the 
convergence between digital, media and information literacy research by 
bringing together researchers from all three communities, to foster the 
scientific debate and explore connections between them.

The summer school is an international training program that will 
alternate between framing presentations by senior researchers and the 
in-depth discussion of emerging research by participating PhD students.

The theme of the 2018 edition is: "Literacies as culture, practices, or 
competences". Participants will be invited to question the way they 
define digital/media/information literacy in terms of culture, 
practices, or competences, what it entails in terms of methods for their 
research, and how it shapes the usefulness of their research and how and 
where they can valorize its outputs.

The Summer School will include six half-day workshops on the following 
topics:
- / Theoretical frameworks / in the study of digital, media and 
information literacies (one workshop);
- / Epistemological issues / in new literacies research (one workshop);
- / Methods / for observing, documenting, and assessing literacies and 
their associated educational practices and policies (three workshops);
- Designing research with social relevance and / valorizing research / 
results in society (one workshop).

Participating PhD students will have the opportunity to present their 
work in two workshops, on two different topics.

Confirmed speakers:
     Maria José Brites, Lusófona University of Porto, Portugal
     Sirkku Kotilainen, University of Tampere, Finland
     Normand Landry, TELUQ (Université du Québec), Canada
     Olivier Le Deuff, Université Bordeaux Montaigne, France
     John Potter, University College London, United Kingdom
     Leo Van Audenhove, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium

PhD students wishing to present and discuss their doctoral research at 
the summer school are invited to submit an application no later than 
June 15th, 2018.

The Summer School will also allow for numerous informal interactions 
(including a networking dinner) between experts, researchers and PhD 
students.
