The “New Media Literacies” working group will address a variety of questions surrounding the adoption of new communication technologies, past and present:

What social and cultural changes make media shift possible?

How have new media transformed politics, social interaction, law and citizenship, the economy, the alliance of art and technology, education, even literacy itself?

What are the implications of new media for pedagogy and for scholarship?

This group will meet initially on Monday, September 10th, from 5 to 7 pm, and will meet on a series of Monday evenings thereafter. For a full list of meeting dates, please see the Working Groups tab on this page.

Readings for the New Media Literacies working group are located under Resources on the group's Sakai page. For access to this page, please contact Alex Kasavin.
