Education for Democracy 2.0
Changing Frames of Media Literacy
Series: - Critical Media Literacies Series, Volume: 6
Winner of the 2022 AESA Critics' Choice Book Award
Winner of the 2022 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award
This diverse and global collection of scholars, educators, and activists presents a panorama of perspectives on media education and democracy in a digital age. Drawing upon projects in both the formal and non-formal education spheres, the authors contribute towards conceptualizing, developing, cultivating, building and elaborating a more respectful, robust and critically-engaged democracy. Given the challenges our world faces, it may seem that small projects, programs and initiatives offer just a salve to broader social and political dynamics but these are the types of contestatory spaces, openings and initiatives that enable participatory democracy. This book provides a space for experimentation and dialogue, and a platform for projects and initiatives that challenge or supplement the learning offered by traditional forms of education. The Foreword is written by Divina Frau-Meigs (Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris) and the Postscript by Roberto Apirici and David GarcÃa MarÃn (UNED, Madrid).

âThis book offers bold, hopeful, and very timely accounts of grassroots critical media literacy practices in the service of building a participatory democracy worthy of the name in a postmodern world.â â Colin Lankshear, author of New Literacies: Everyday Practices and Social Learning
âA diversity of local projects from around the world, critically presented by authors who explore the convergence of formal, non-formal and informal education spheres with ubiquitous and lifelong education. Media education is represented here as inevitably linked to social justice, environmental education and other burning issues of our time.â â Alfonso Gutiérrez MartÃn, University of Valladolid (Segovia)
