By Any Media Necessary: Mapping Youth and Participatory Politics

Media Library

Working with our partners at USC, School of Cinematic Arts Institute for Multimedia Literacy, the MAPP  Educate Project is in process of creating a companion project that translates MAPP research findings into an accessible and participatory digital media library. On one level, this media library will provide resources that enhance and illustrate a MAPP authored book, By Any Media Necessary: Mapping Youth and Participatory Politics. On another - and even more important - level, this media library will become a tool which educators within high schools civics and composition classes, afterschool programs, college classes, and activists organizations can use to help students to master core skills necessary for effectively harnessing digital media tools and participatory politics practices towards changing the world. The library will combine original media produced by activist groups, critical reflections from participants, and curricular resources and activities.
