Connected Learning

After meeting with my supervisor, I’ve spent some time delving into the connections that were mentioned as well as some related readings. This is intended to be a place where I can curate those connections and find some threads that connect these thoughts, theorists, and themes to my research directions.

Publication and conference options:

• Journal of Media Literacy Education (JMLE) with a connected article about the development of a valid and reliable questionnaire for teacher competence in media literacy (see reference below) and the call for papers for a special edition on Data Literacy and Education (submissions due by Sept 30, 2019 with full papers due on Feb 1, 2020).
• Media & Learning (Belgrade?)
• International Media Education Summit, Bournemouth University in the UK, April 2-3, 2020; themes and topics with a call for presentation and papers soon
  • this lead me to the Center for Teaching Excellence in Media Practice and the Manifesto for Media Education (with contributions done after a Manifesto Symposium held in 2011).
  • the School of Media and Communication at Leeds University where the 2020 Media Education Summit will be held; a publication section where I took a closer look at a book – Doing text: After the subject edited by P. Bennett and J. McDougall (2017)
• Journal of Media Practice and Education
  • article the Disruptive Media edition titled Why is this not common practice by Juri Smrke (it was the image of an ourobores that caught my attention) about linking citations directly to the openly accessible online editions of the author’s work using Hypothes.is, with a working example of how this would work
• Journal of Learning, Media and Technology
• Media Education Research Journal (MERJ)

Other topics we discussed:

• UR texts and meta-texts – examine and analyze origins of textuality; which links me back to rereading Walter Ong’s text about orality and reviewing blog posts I’ve written about this text
• Raymond Williams, author and thinker about ‘whole ways of life’ relating to cultural studies; thinking about residual, dominant, and emergent literacies e.g. thinking of the residuality of print texts even within media modalities; print is still dominant in multimedia production.
• book by Alan O’Connor about Raymond Williams and article
• an article titled The Cultural Labor Issue by Richard Maxwell and Toby Miller
• revisiting Marshal McLuhan’s tetrad of media effects – how does this connect to my research and the potential of breaking down dichotomies and binaries
• Explore the work of John Fiske – media scholar
• Author Italo Calivino – If on a Winters Night a Traveller
  • post modernist narrative
• Richard Hogartt – The Uses of Literacy (1957)
• E. P. Thompson – the making of the english working class
