Description

Take a deep dive into media literacy with media literacy scholar Mahkia Greene. Media Literacy can be defined as the way we access, analyze, evaluate, and create media. As we delve further into a more tech-centered world, it is more important than ever to be able to critically evaluate digital media, especially when it comes to the manipulation of “truth.” Join South Carolina Humanities and artist Mahkia Greene on Wednesday, September 8th for a Media Literacy Workshop and conversation exploring topics of media manipulation and the future of journalism. Mahkia Greene Mahkia is a southern filmmaker and teaching artist based in Columbia, SC with a degree in media arts from the University of South Carolina. Greene specializes in facilitating both video production training and media literacy workshops, having taught a collection of afterschool, in-school, and field trip programs since 2016. Mahkia has also guest facilitated in various venues around the country including the 2018 Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago, IL.
