The Event

Critical engagement with the digital world, from online news to social media, has become essential in navigating our social environment. We are organising a half-day event for students and teachers on digital literacies, which creates a space for dialogue on digital literacies that takes into account recent sociolinguistic insights.

The event will focus on strategies in engaging with digital media, present recent research findings and combine the social and action-oriented perspectives of sociolinguistic approaches with insights from journalism and media studies. The event will include an introduction to critical digital literacies and four short workshops by digital literacy experts on influence in the digital age, navigating political discourse, understanding headlines and building inclusive communities online.
