Media and Environmental Justice

This course explores the relatively new field of ecomedia to consider how media technologies, mainstream media practices and dominant media narratives intersect and contribute to global environmental crises. Students will engage in individual and collaborative qualitative and experiential research methods to apply critical media literacy skills and decolonial lenses to reimagine how contemporary media practices can promote environmental justice and/or cultivate a reparative eco-consciousness on individual and collective levels.
