Call for Proposals: Media Literacy Education

Posted by on December 13, 2010

National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) convenes media literacy educators and leaders every two years to expand the knowledge and practice of media literacy education in the United States. We are currently inviting proposals for participation in our 2011 NAMLE Conference to be held in Philadelphia, PA July 22-25.

As a membership organization, NAMLE celebrates the increased diversity of voices, pedagogies and technologies that comprise the growing field of media literacy education. We seek to facilitate media literacy education among an increasingly broad constituency that includes children, families and adults of all ages, academic researchers, P-16 teachers, teacher educators, art educators, community leaders, media producers, non-profit partners, faith-based groups, pediatricians and other health professionals. For the 2011 conference program we anticipate a rich mix of conversation, presentation and hands-on engagement with a variety of media and technologies.

This year we invite a wide range of submissions including pre-conference workshops, individual presentations, workshop sessions, panel discussions, roundtable discussions, digital poster sessions, media demonstrations or screenings. Excellent paper submissions will be considered for publication in the Journal of Media Literacy Education (JMLE).

NAMLE also continues the Modern Media Makers (M3) tradition of a youth production camp framed by the cultural and historical wonders of Philadelphia, and to commemorate NAMLE’s 10th Anniversary we are holding a Global Video Contest for students from across the world.
