- Abstract
-
This article offers a theoretically-grounded case study considering the role of
Critical Media Project (CMP) as an educational initiative and intervention that
sits at the juncture of media literacy and social justice. CMP fills key gaps in
media literacy education by using a critical media literacy frame to foster
critical consumption, critical creation, and cultural competencies around seven
key social identities (race and ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ+, socio-economic
class, religion, ability and age). In turn, through a media-rich website,
curriculum and other programs, CMP helps youth imagine a better future with
the requisite tools, resources and power to challenge dominant systems and structures of power. - Keywords
