Professor of Communications at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and the Founder and Executive Director of the Media Education Foundation, Sut Jhally gave a talk at McMaster University on March 18th 2015.
During his lecture, Jhally reflected on the curious absence of resources dedicated to the development of critical pedagogies in the university – this, despite the fact that teaching remains a primary function assigned both to academics and the mission of the university more broadly. Why is it, Jhally asked, that teaching and learning still receives so little attention when it occupies such a large proportion of academic labour?
