HESP Regional Seminar For Excellence in Teaching 2006-2009 Kyiv, Ukraine The program will provide an interdisciplinary discussion of media studies for junior faculty from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, drawing on various theories that are used for analyzing the relationship between the media and its place in society. The theoretical study of the media and its broader cultural, economic and political implications will be explored. The goal of the project is to encourage a re-thinking of contemporary scholarship in the region by offering seminars facilitated by leading media studies academics from Western and East European universities. These scholars will introduce junior faculty from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to new content and methods of teaching by comparing and contrasting North American, British, Continental and Soviet/post-Soviet media research models that will enable participants to strengthen their critical ability to make sense of the way the media reflect or influence society. The project will establish a common set of media literacy concepts-- such as audience research and public surveys-- that will help program participants better understand and apply media theories in their research and in their teaching. The program will serve as a catalyst for post-Communist universities to develop relevant curricula based on the content and methods of teaching offered at the summer HESP-ReSET program. Contact us.
