Conference Papers

MES2016 invites presentations of original pedagogic/ educational research in the broad fields of media education, media literacy education and media / technology in education. These papers should share the outcomes of research / practitioner enquiry, raising questions for the audience to discuss. Presentations are typically 15-20 minutes in length, forming part of a parallel session of 3 or 4 papers.

We are now accepting abstracts of no more than 200 words (excluding references). Your abstract should be double-space and in Arial font no less than size 12. Submissions can be made in either a Word document or in RTF format.

The abstract must include:

• A title of no more than 15 words which provides useful pointers on the key topics to be discussed;
• A list of references at the end (a maximum of 5 texts and no fewer than 2 texts)
• Five key words;
• A short biography of a maximum of 35 words.

MERJ Conversations

This strand of the conference offers a different, more interactive platform for the exchange of research, practice and innovation in the broad field of creative, arts and media education. MERJ conversations are given more time than standard presentations (typically two per parallel session) and can take the form of a seminar discussion, panel, workshop or roundtable, but we are open to other proposals.
