Transformative Media Pedagogies

Each essay takes the form of critical and reflective writing on specific processes and practices that emerge from contributors’ experiences in an experimental and immersive transformational media pedagogy project called the Salzburg Academy on Media & Global Change. Together, contributors examine media pedagogies that prioritize value constructions like human connection, care, imagination and agency, all of which collectively support a transformative approach to learning.

The book is heavily informed by the work being done at the Salzburg Academy, which combines foundations in media literacy and participatory design alongside practices of transmedia storytelling to offer an immersive pedagogical experience that builds from radical scholars like bell hooks, Paulo Freire and W.E.B. Dubois.

Aimed at educators and media practitioners, this book offers practical strategies and tips for those seeking to implement transformative media pedagogies in their approaches to learning.
