Brief History

The 17th MediaEd Forum (Formally known as the Northeast Media Literacy Conference) builds on over two decades of experience facilitating intellectual exchange and community building across disciplinary and geographic boundaries to advance the field of media literacy education. Founded in 2003 by Dr. Thomas Goodkind, the conference was supported by the University of Connecticut School of Education for 11 years.

Interdisciplinary Challenges: A Forum for Dialogue and Discussion 

In this strand, we will foster collaborative opportunities to address the social, cultural, economic, and practical questions we face. We start with why scholars, teachers, librarians, and media practitioners aim to improve media literacy education in different ways.

Outside the Classroom: A Forum for Dialogue and Discussion

In this strand, we will examine the nature and diversity of media literacy education programs in out-of-school contexts around the world. First, we learn about two projects based in participatory, cooperative research using media as a medium to explore topics of place-making and identity with youth in Oslo and Rotterdam.

Inside the Classroom: A Forum for Dialogue and Discussion

In this strand we will delve deep into the dynamic landscape of Media Literacy. In this comprehensive exploration, we will examine into classroom practices, policy, and research that collectively shape the trajectory of media literacy education.
