ICA 2017 Presentation: Media LiteracyEducation in Poverty Neighborhoods' School
Media Literacy in High-Poverty Neighborhoods: Six Case Studies Offering a Global Perspective / ICA 67th Annual Conference 25-29 May 2017, San Diego, USA Comparing the Media Literacy Education in Low and High Income Neighborhoods' Schools in Turkey / Presented by Sait Tuzel Poverty continues to constrain the life chances of many learners across the world. While significant sociological and geographical work has explored patterns of educational and other disadvantage that are associated with low incomes there are limited studies focussing on the role of media literacy in such contexts. Media literacy education is considered by many to be a successful practice to not only foster students voice, identity and creativity, but also to teach critical thinking and civic engagement with and via media messages. While there is undoubtedly some difference in how the term media literacy is interpreted across the world and its role in the curriculum, in this panel we bring together six case studies focussed on the intersection of media literacy and educational inequality.
