Ecomedia Literacy Integrating Ecology into Media Education

Douglas Kellner, Distinguished Research Professor of Education, UCLA, USA

"Antonio Lopez is one of the remarkable media educators who has been working for years on developing a holistic and systemic framework for understanding media-a framework that incorporates a deep understanding not only of the politics and economics of media technologies, but of the ways they ethically implicate us as citizens active within expanding circles of social responsibility. Lopez's 'ecomediasphere' model presents an admirable synthesis of insights from popular education, media and cultural studies, and the rapidly growing field of ecomedia theory and practice. This is cutting-edge work on a topic that couldn't be more important."
