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.
I divided media theory and media literacy into three dimensions and conducted three workshops corresponding to each. The purpose was to provide a deep understanding of media and literacy, not speculatively, but experientially.
For the third dimension of designing a platform, I conducted a workshop called “Magical Transformation (Makaizo) of the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies (III) and GSII as A Learning Platform.”
