  Carla Chamberlin

  Original abstract

  Critical media literacy activities can make visible, interrogate, and disrupt linguistic and racial hierarchies enacted through mediascapes of classrooms, schools, and communities. Informed by critical applied linguistics, media literacy, and media ecology, I share examples of how analog and digital media convey ideologies about language and race and how pedagogy can help dismantle colonial ideologies.
