CFP: Media Education Futures, 8-9 May, 2014



The International Conference on Media Education Futures examines media literacies and education from various perspectives. The conference highlights participation, well-being and citizenships as the current Nordic perspectives in media education and discusses media and information literacies contributing to inter-cultural dialogue on the globe. The goal is to display and promote research in the field along with the practices of media education. The conference program on the 8th to 9th May 2014 will consist of keynote lectures, presentations, and panel discussions. Submissions are invited from academics working at the nexus of the media education and media literacy with particular questions on:


What are the future media literacies?

What methods will be used to research and evaluate future media literacies?
How media education policies and research are in dialogue globally?
How the media environment is changing among generations?
What are the 21st Century media skills for students and teachers?



All original, unpublished papers presented at the conference will be eligible to be considered for the 2015 Yearbook of The International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media by NORDICOM via a double-blind review process.



For the actors of the practical field, an exhibition space for materials, posters and publications will be provided at the conference venue. More information: (kaisa.e.toivonen /at/ uta.fi)
