Navigating Our Media Ecosystem: Reclaiming Our Stories & Media

The stories we hear and see shape the world we live in. During these two free hands-on workshops, we will explore our relationships with media, technology, and popular culture. We will analyze media and create our own alternative messages with a focus on the ways environmental and climate justice impact our health. These events are free for everyone. We are all part of a media ecosystem, whether we're on social media, watching YouTube, reading articles, or sharing links with our friends and family. We will explore tools for critical media literacy and - as a community- discover how we can tell our own stories and create our own media. Join Dr. Jeff Share, PhD, award-winning photojournalist and educator, UCLA senior lecturer, and author of numerous articles and books on critical media literacy and Dr. Amanda d'Almeida MD, MPH, family medicine physician at UCLA with a background in social media and environmental justice for these community events! We hope to see you there.
