Over the past forty years, media education research has emerged as
a historical, epistemological and practical field of study. Shifts
in the field--along with radical transformations in media
technologies, aesthetic forms, ownership models, and audience
participation practices--have driven the application of new
concepts and theories across a range of both school and non-school
settings. The Handbook on Media Education Research is a unique
exploration of the complex set of practices, theories, and tools of
media research. Featuring contributions from a diverse range of
internationally recognized experts and practitioners, this timely
volume discusses recent developments in the field in the context of
related scholarship, public policy, formal and non-formal teaching
and learning, and DIY and community practice. Offering a truly
global perspective, the Handbook focuses on empirical work from
Media and Information Literacy (MIL) practitioners from around the
world. The book's five parts explore global youth cultures and the
media, trans-media learning, media literacy and scientific
