Exploring the concept of individual and collective transformation as the underlying driver for media pedagogy, this book offers valuable insights and practical strategies for implementing transformative media pedagogies across learning environments and civic ecosystems.
Each chapter takes the form of critical and reflective writing on specific processes and practices that emerged from contributors' experiences of participating in the Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change, an experimental and immersive transformational media pedagogy project born in 2007, and continuing to this day. Together, contributors examine media pedagogies that prioritize value constructions like human connection, care, imagination, and agency, all of which collectively support a transformative approach to learning. While this book takes into account media pedagogies that focus on competencies and skills, its priority is to reveal and offer learning pathways that develop media makers and storytellers focused on positive social impact in the world.
This book will be of interest to any media educators, researchers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs seeking to implement transformative media pedagogies that support equitable and just civic futures.
"This thought-provoking and engagingly written book urges us to contemplate how care, imagination and agency can guide transformative media pedagogies in our technologically fast-changing world. By combining conceptual exploration and practical sharing, this collection provides an insightful pedagogic approach that encourages young people to critically co-design their future world."
Alice Y. L. Lee, Professor of Journalism and Communication, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong
"A radical new vision and practical guide for inclusive, caring, and transformative communities of media practice. Distills the collective wisdom from the Salzburg Media Academy, a summer institute for the world's most innovative leaders in media education. A must-read for activists, academics, and educators committed to media and social justice."
Srividya Ramasubramanian, Professor of Communication and Presidential Impact Fellow, Texas A&M University, USA
"The time is ripe for a book like this. The authors of Transformative Media Pedagogies build on the groundbreaking work they've done individually on civic media and civic imagination to collect and frame innovative new ways to understand and teach media that are participatory, engaged and transformative."
