The 2013 National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) Conference will be held July 12-13 in Torrance, CA.
The theme is “Intersections: Teaching and Learning Across Media.”
Disruption is a watchword for the time we live in: competing social networking platforms, ever-shifting working styles, novel job descriptions displacing the old, manifold curricular and performance
demands. With all these possibilities vying for our buy-in, it is
vital to seek commonalities. It is at the intersections that we will
begin to make sense and make use of a media revolution well underway
and yet incompletely understood by our educational infrastructure.
This conference will highlight the role of media literacy educators’
capacity to take a leading role in this nationwide task. The conference planning committee is looking for proposals from media literacy educators, advocates,
and researchers who use media as the backbone to teaching and who
guide students to a thorough understanding of how to practice creative
production and critical analysis ethically and responsibly across
media.
Submissions are welcomed in any of the five session formats: Workshop
(choice of 60 or 90 minute session); Poke, Prod, Provoke Panels (60
minute session, 3-4 panelists); Media Literacy Smackdown (2 minute
presentation); What Works: Gimme the Skinny (10 minute presentation);
or Fireside Chats (choice of 60, 90 or 120 minute session).
The Conference Program Committee will accept proposal submissions
until 11:59 PM PST January 7, 2013. All proposals must be submitted
through our 2013 Conference Proposal form. Proposals will undergo
rigorous review by a committee of NAMLE members.
