Critical Pedagogy Through Media Literacy

I am currently working toward my M.A. in Child Studies, and my main focus is Media Literacy. With this class, I have become aware that Media Literacy is in essence inextricably linked with Critical Pedagogy. Until recently, I had not been exposed to the term Critical Pedagogy sufficiently to understand the extent to which it can impact a person's identity construction.

The Teachers Schools are Looking For

Greetings All,

First, a quick comment to say what a wonderful "space" this is becoming.  I am really enjoying the lively dialogue and sense of colleagiality here.

How universal is Critical Pedagogy?

From the readings so far, it is clear that critical pedagogy is challenging and placing itself up against an animal like no other. It seems to me that critical pedagogy may be operating within a system so complex and sophisticated that sometimes by fixing one issue it is concurrently feeding the beast through that solution, hence creating another.

Mistrust of researchers & the academy: the Wire got me thinking...

The Wire kicks ass. it's one of those shows that's so smart, you can tell yourself you're 'doing research' when plopped in front of the t.v. watching an entire season at a time. and then when season 4 came along and they introduced the storyline of an academic researcher who enters Baltimore's inner city schools with a large grant and intentions of creating a program for at-risk youth, i actually did start thinking about my own research.
