Metzil (Aztec Student Union 2nd Floor)
This proposed interactive session addresses the imperative need for critical visual literacy in our current educational landscape. It emphasizes the importance for educators and students to possess the skills to analyze and interpret visuals and their underlying messages. A critical visual literacy framework will be introduced, emphasizing its significance in teaching and learning. This session also will provide an overview of critical visual literacy concepts that are incorporated into the framework. Participants will gain insights into how the critical visual literacy framework can foster critical thinking and cultural awareness by applying it to examine visual primary sources from the Library of Congress. The session will conclude with collaborative discussions aimed at refining the framework and integrating it into diverse educational environments, promoting collaborative learning and networking.
