MES20
Each year the Media Education Summit brings together a global network of researchers, educators and practitioners working across all aspects of media education, media and digital literacy and media / technology in education.
The event is the leading global showcase for research, pedagogy and innovation on all aspects of media education.
Call for Abstracts
Conference Papers
MES20 invites presentations of research/ practice in the broad fields of media education, media / digital literacy and media / technology in education. These papers should share the outcomes of research / practitioner enquiry, raising questions for the audience to discuss. Presentations are typically 15-20 minutes in length, forming part of a parallel session of 3 or 4 papers.
MERJ Conversations
This strand of the conference offers a different, more interactive platform for the exchange of research, practice and innovation in the broad fields of media education, media / digital literacy and media / technology in education. For the 2020 events, MERJ conversations should relate to the theme of Media Education, Diversity and Voice. Conversations are given more time than standard presentations (typically two per parallel session) and can take the form of a seminar discussion, screening or other showcasing of work, demonstration, panel, workshop or roundtable, but we are open to other proposals.
Submission Guidelines
We are now accepting abstracts of no more than 400 words (excluding references). Your abstract should be double-space and in Arial font no less than size 12. Submissions can be made in PDF format. Abstracts must contain:
