Description

This unique “yearbook” captures the extraordinary events and effects of 2020 on children and media scholars and practitioners.

Contributors reflect on how the compounding crises of 2020—the COVID-19 pandemic, international protests for racial justice, and the climate crisis—have prompted them to re-evaluate some aspects of their research, teaching, or production related to children, adolescents, and media. Crises can be opportunities for clarity, revealing creative ways to address collective challenges.

This volume, which began as a special issue of Journal of Children and Media, reveals such insights.
