[ecrea] Research in Media Literacy and Education: New Routledge book series & call for proposals

*Announcing a new book series… Routledge Research in Media Literacy and 
Education.*

Series Editors: Pete Bennett and Julian McDougall

Media literacy is now established by Unesco as a human right, and the 
field of media literacy education is both growing and diverse. The 
series speaks to two recurring concerns in this field:  What difference 
does media make to literacy and how should education respond to this? 
Research and practice has aimed to protect against negative media 
messages and deconstruct ideology through critical thinking, developing 
media literacy through creative production and a social participatory 
approach which focuses on developing active citizens to play a 
constructive role in media democracy.

This series 
<https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Research-in-Media-Literacy-and-Education/book-series/RRMLE> 
is dedicated to a more extensive exploration of the known territories of 
media literacy and education, while also seeking out ‘other’ 
cartographies. As such, it encompasses a diverse, international range of 
contexts that share a conceptual framework at the intersection of 
Cultural Studies / Critical Theories, (New) Social Literacies and 
Critical Pedagogy. The series is especially interested in how media 
literacy and education relates to feminism, critical race theory, social 
class, post-colonial and intersectional approaches and how these 
perspectives, political objectives and international contexts can 
‘decenter’ the field of media literacy education.


Pete Bennett is Senior Lecturer in Post-Compulsory Education at the 
University of Wolverhampton, UK. He is the author / editor of a wide 
range of textbooks and academic works in the fields of education, media, 
communications and cultural studies.

Excellence in Media Practice, UK and Principal Fellow of the Higher 
Education Academy. He edits /Media Practice and Education/, runs the 
Professional Doctorate (Ed D) in Creative and Media Education at 
Bournemouth University and convenes the annual International Media 
Education Summit, held in a different country each year. Julian is the 
author / editor of a range of books, chapters, journal articles and 
reports in the fields of media, education and pedagogy, literacy, 
cultural theory and technology.
