Digital Lecture Series "Critical Media Literacy": "Interaction-based Media Literacy"

This talk describes a project that brings together citizen media analysis and conversation analysis in the context of conversations about race in a rural county in the northeastern United States. In summer 2020, just after the Republican National Conference, marchers loosely associated with the Black Lives Matter movement were shot at by a local citizen. The talk first describes the incident and its aftermath, and then invites participants to participate in a data session, comparing transcripts of talks from the Republican Convention with data from local responses to the events—including letters to the editor from the local paper, tweets and facebook posts, and transcripts from press events held by the local police department.

The online-event is part of the joint interdisciplinary initiative by the Heidelberg School of Education and Teachers College (Columbia University). The lecture will take place on Tuesday, July 20th at 6 p.m. The lecture will be held in English and via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/98669976704?pwd=SXVsZnR1eUw0YW1zNWJuekNLZTBrZz09 (Meeting-ID: 986 6997 6704; Password: 134625); no prior registration required.
