IAMRC 2017: Global Shifts in Media Education: Where are we now?

The Global Shifts in Media Education pre-conference will be held in Cartagena, Columbia as part of the Media Education Research Section at IAMCR 2017. The aim of this pre-conference is to take stock of media literacy education in 2017, 35 years after the Grunwald Declaration, at a time when media education has become a global phenomenon. Since Grunwald, media education has emerged as a complex field of practices that operate across a range of school and non-school settings. Over nearly four decades, new concepts and theories have been applied to the field – partially as the result of a radical transformation in media technologies, aesthetic forms, ownership models, and practices of audience participation – but also due to shifts in media education as it has developed as a field and spread around the world.
