Book excerpt: Digital media, including social media, has fundamentally changed how the human species communicates with, relates to, and influences one another. Adolescents use digital media extensively. Researchers, scholars, teachers, parents, and teens themselves have many questions about the effects of digital media on young people's psychological development. This handbook offers a comprehensive synthesis of scientific studies that explain what we know so far about digital media and its effects on youth mental health. With chapters from internationally renowned experts in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, media, and communications, the book offers a broad overview of the positive and negative implications of youths' engagement with digital media for brain development, relationships, identity exploration, daily behaviors, and psychological symptoms. Chapters include a discussion of the current state of knowledge, directions for future research, and practical suggestions for parents, educators, and teens themselves. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Media and Social Justice by : Srividya Ramasubramanian

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Media and Social Justice written by Srividya Ramasubramanian. This book was released on 2024-09-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The urgency and complexity of contemporary social justice issues facing the world today mean that activists, scholars, and storytellers need a readily available compendium of cutting-edge scholarship on media and social justice. The Oxford Handbook of Media and Social Justice gathers over forty leading scholars and presents a state-of-the-art systematic overview of media and social justice. Representing leading voices across positionalities and perspectives, geographies and generations, meta-theories and methods, and issues and identities, the Handbook explores intersecting identities, social structures, and power networks within media ownership, representation, selection, uses, effects, networks, and social transformation. These theories, methods, and practices expose media and digital divides, polarization, marginalization, exclusion, alienation, invisibilities, stigma, and trivializations. Yet, they also showcase how individuals and communities also have agency through refusal and resistance. Each of the 32 chapters includes a brief history, key concepts, contemporary debates and dialogues, and future directions, and the volume concludes with reflections on resistances, reckoning, and reparative justice. Connecting critical media scholarship with intersectional feminism, postcolonial/anticolonial theory, Indigenous approaches, queer theory, diaspora studies, and environmental justice frameworks, the Handbook re-envisions the role of media and technology with an inclusive trauma-informed approach to scholarship that is essential for the future of this research.

Book Synopsis Documenting the American Student Abroad by : Kelly Hankin

Download or read book Documenting the American Student Abroad written by Kelly Hankin. This book was released on 2021-01-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 in 10 undergraduates in the US will study abroad. Extoled by students as personally transformative and celebrated in academia for fostering cross-cultural understanding, study abroad is also promoted by the US government as a form of cultural diplomacy and a bridge to future participation in the global marketplace. In Documenting the American Student Abroad, Kelly Hankin explores the documentary media cultures that shape these beliefs, drawing our attention to the broad range of stakeholders and documentary modes involved in defining the core values and practices of study abroad. From study abroad video contests and a F.B.I. produced docudrama about student espionage to reality television inspired educational documentaries and docudramas about Amanda Knox, Hankin shows how the institutional values of "global citizenship," "intercultural communication," and "cultural immersion" emerge in contradictory ways through their representation. By bringing study abroad and media studies into conversation with one another, Documenting the American Student Abroad: The Media Cultures of International Education offers a much needed humanist contribution to the field of international education, as well as a unique approach to the growing scholarship on the intersection of media and institutions. As study abroad practitioners and students increase their engagement with moving images and digital environments, the insights of media scholars are essential for helping the field understand how the mediation of study abroad rhetoric shapes rather than reflects the field's central institutional ideals
