Shin MIZUKOSHI no Yukari 水越伸の縁
In connection with Shin MIZUKOSHI
日本メディア学会の学会誌『メディア研究』が「メディアとしての学会誌」という特集を組み、そこに「メディアをつくりアソシエーションを展開する：『５：Designing Media Ecology』の実践を踏まえて」という論考を、宮田雅子さんとともに寄稿しました。
表象文化論学会の学会誌を取り上げた門林岳史さん、学術雑誌『メディウム』を主催する梅田拓也さんらの論考も大変興味深いものです。
私はここで、1990年代以降の研究や実践をふり返りながら、自分が雑誌をというメディアをつくるきっかけとなったできごと、ナムジュン・パイクとの対話、『季刊 本とコンピュータ』での経験、メルプロジェクトの展望などを語っています。その後、『５：Designing Media Ecology』の広い意味でのデザインを宮田さんが論じています。最後にまた私が、学会誌や学会という存在一般の未来について思うところを提示しています。

2025年7月29日から8月1日までの4日間、古巣の東京大学大学院学際情報学府で集中講義「メディアとリテラシーの未来」を開催しました。18名の大学院生のみなさんと、たくさんのことをいっしょに学びました。そのレポートが情報学環オープンスタジオのウェブサイトにアップされたのでご一読ください。
In the middle of summer 2025, I held a four-day intensive course, “The Future of Media & Literacy” at the Graduate School of Interdiscplinary Information Studies (GSII), The University of Tokyo. It was playful, and I learned a lot together with 18 graduate students. The report has been posted at the III Open Studio website.
My short talk about a three-dimensional media literacy concept, shot by Thammasat University in Thailand on November 15 during the international academic seminar “Digital Media Literacy Movement: Glocalising Media Literacy in Cultural Contexts and Creating Communities for Building Connections,” is now available on YouTube!
My new and last article published in 2024 has been just published.

Title:
Why Public Interest Technology Matters: A Cross-cultural Exchange for Equitable and Inclusive Technology Development
Registration for this event is closed. (October 18, 2024)
Abstract:
Professor Kathleen M. Cumiskey of City University of New York will discuss about Public Interest Technology at the 5th Media Studies Forum.
Public Interest Technology (PIT) is an interdisciplinary and practical approach to create, support, and develop a movement in which people use technology for the public interest and as a tool to solve social problems while resisting the spread of capitalist technology, as typified by GAFAM, across the media landscape. The development of PIT requires collaboration across boundaries between academia, government, communities, and individual users. PIT is still little known in Japan. How can technology support the public interest through collaboration among technologists, policymakers, civic groups, academics, and students?
In this meeting, Professor. Cumiskey will first present the history and overall picture of PIT and its potential and challenges. Then, Haruka Iharada (curator and activist of art and culture in Asia) and Shin Mizukoshi (media studies and education) will discuss from Asian or Japanese social contexts, moderated by Mari Nagatomi (American culture and popular music studies.)
This event is co-hosted by INSTeM（Inter-field Network for Science, Technology and Media Studies, a foundation that serves as a nexus that bridges professionals and non-professionals, universities and society. MSF and INSTeM hope that cross-cultural discussions will flourish based on the topics provided by Professor Cumiskey.
The meeting will be a HyFlex event. There is no participation fee, but advance registration is required. Presentations will be given in English, and discussions will be held in English and Japanese. After the session, a dinner party with face-to-face participants will be held.
We look forward to your participation.
