Connie Yowell: Stanford Public Forum Video & Blog Coverage

MacArthur’s education director follows up on the recent public forum held at Stanford last month, “From MySpace to Hip Hop: New Media in the Everyday Lives of Youth.”

This blog post is a follow-up to the wonderful Stanford Public Forum held April 23rd at the Hewlett Teaching Center at Stanford.  image
Organized by Common Sense Media, the presentations from the Digital Youth Research Project were both thought provoking and inspiring.  Thanks to all who participated and to those who attended.

An additional thank you goes out to Global Kids who helped provide access to this event to those who couldn’t attend in person through simulcast and webcast.

The video coverage, in three parts, begins with Julia Stasch, Vice President of the Program on Human & Community Development at MacArthur, introducing the event, and continues with coverage of the research presentations and panel discussion.

danah boyd has posted about the event and her talk on “Teen Socialization Practices in Networked Publics.” Kevin Marks also provided some interesting comments on the ideas surrounding “digital publics.”
