media studies pedagogy and the pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic threw into sharp relief – and in some ways sharpened – existing structural inequalities, both within academia, and in the broader social systems within which it operates. However, the pandemic, and the ensuing disruption of university operations, offer opportunities for embracing a fresh vision of the role of media studies, and for reorgan- ising how we do our work. Critical scholars have previously explored the tensions inherent within our current model of media education, including the ideological space inhabited by media studies. This paper offers a political economic analysis of some of the ways in which we can use this moment of reshape media studies education in a positive manner.
