Multi-disciplinary Conference 2010

This year, the third annual Teachers, Teaching and the Movies (TTM III) conference will be held in Poughkeepsie, New York at Vassar College.  The keynote speaker for this conference will be Dr. Glynda Hull, distinguished professor of English Education at New York University.  Her keynote address will focus on the use of digital storytelling by parents and youth.

This year, this multi-disciplinary conference will focus on four burgeoning areas on the fields of education, sociology, media studies and communication.

1. Representations of schools and schooling in old and new media
2. Use of media as pedagogical tools
3. Use of media by youth to transform their worlds
4. The teaching of critical media literacy
Papers that address these four areas have been selected for presentation.


5. Keynote Session: A special session of papers focused on "Youth Multimodal Media Production: Strategies for Language, and Literacy Learning" is now being organized in line with the invited keynote speaker, Dr. Glynda Hull.  We now invite papers for this keynote session.
