After two held IDESA conferences that addressed information literacy in the context of information professional for civic development and perspectives of MIL education, this year hybrid (online) conference IDESA will be held on 18th and 19 November 2022 in Sarajevo / University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Political Sciences.
IDESA 2022 conference – INFORMATION LITERACY AND CIVIL SOCIETY: Teaching Concepts and Evaluation in Times of Information Disorder will focus on different learning processes and teaching practices to present various strategies for navigating information pollution. While taking place during a series of international crises, the third IDESA conference offers interdisciplinary perspectives on the role of civil society in facilitating information literacy.
Topic of this year’s IDESA conference aims to open its floors to attitudes in information literacy programs that go along with asymmetries over understanding is a technology a problem for democracy, or is democracy a problem for technology?
We would like to expose a discursive trends in media and information literacy teaching models from “think critically, click wisely” to “think politically, unclick carefully” asking what is the point of MIL if its normative narrative of progress and development does not confront techno-libertarian approach that “everything’s going to be ok” as long as solutions are pointing to the (another) app. There is a huge need to attain focus on how academia and civil society envision MIL teaching concepts, how they refer to “MIL discontents” or to be more precise its paradoxes: “Is media and information literacy even possible in an age of largely invisible algorithms and increasingly invisible information systems? (Haider & Sundin, 2022). University of Hildesheim and University of Sarajevo therefore continue to discuss intersections of infodemic, education, and civic actions in a way that empowers critical practices.
Students from Germany, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina will participate in the four-day workshop and have an opportunity to present the results of their work during the IDESA 2022 Conference.
