EDIT 10 BEST PRACTICES IN INCLUSIVE TEACHING IN MEDIA PRODUCTION
What's inside:
This document was created by media faculty for media faculty based on research conducted on U.S. higher education media production classrooms. We call our faculty-led initiative EDIT Media (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Teaching Media) and the EDIT 10 was developed collaboratively with faculty, students, and alumni of production programs. EDIT Media's impetus in developing this document began in department meetings, at conferences, and in student conversations about recurring problems in production classes: frustration with gender, racial, economic, and other imbalances in the classroom; students' desire to see a wider array of mediamakers, actors, and characters in examples presented in class; and shared concerns across campuses and at festivals over stereotypical characters, gratuitous violence, and clichéd narratives in student work.
