IMPORTANT: Due to the continuing changes in the pandemic and the new variants of the Covid-19 virus, we have decided to hold the conference online only without an in-person presence. All sessions will be presented live online, scheduled for Friday October 15th, Saturday, October 16th and Sunday, October 17th, 2021.

 

The Critical Media Literacy Conference of The Americas is committed to democratic ideals and social justice values. We engage with media as a dialectical space for critique and celebration. Media are complex tools whose effects do not always match intentions. Media can promote democratic participation, support social justice, and bring considerable joy, but they can hinder democracy, stoke violence, and manipulate individuals and society. Our goal for this conference is to facilitate critical discourse about our mediated society with the intent to deepen our understandings and support each other’s work in transforming society to be more socially just and environmentally sustainable. In the spirit of Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy, our conference attempts to create democratic spaces for diverse voices to speak and be heard through dialogical discourse and praxis, reflection and action.
