Cedar Crest College’s Communication Department welcomes Elizabeth Ortiz for Media Literacy Week 2023! Join us on October 24th at 7:00pm for Elizabeth’s lecture “Hi Barbie: Feminism & Gender Representation in Media” in The Miller Family Building room 33.
Light refreshments will be served.
Join the library and University of Kansas Associate Professor Ashley Muddiman for an evening of intentional bridge building during Media Literacy Week.
Our topic will be productive conversations without confrontation. We’ll watch the News Literacy Project’s collaboration with the National Institute for Civil Discourse and the League of Women Voters, then share a community conversation about ways we can interact with family, friends, and neighbors regarding the access, analysis, and evaluation of media messages we receive.
Learn tools and techniques to thrive in a highly mediated, digital, and saturated world—especially as a presidential election season nears. We’ll discuss how political messaging works to impact us for better or worse, how journalism and other forms of media shape our understanding of elections and important civic issues, and how we can equip ourselves to better protect and engage in democracy.
This event will be live-streamed here.
Denison University’s Department of Communication and Denison Libraries will host a film screening of the 2020 documentary “Coded Bias.” After the film screening, a panel of student respondents will share remarks with the audience of peers.
