Description

Mediated Critical Communication Pedagogy explores the role of both traditional and new media in critical communication pedagogy.

Contributors describe and assess how particular instances of media useparticularly the use of new media technologiessupport or challenge critical communication pedagogy. Each chapter engages in critical analysis of how to effectively use particular mediums in the classroom, how classroom communication is affected by uses of new media, and particular instances of critical communication pedagogy in teaching. Scholars of communication and education will find this book particularly useful.
