Journal of Media Practice

Aims & Scope

Media Practice and Education adopts an inter-disciplinary approach and seeks to foster collaboration and exchanges between academic, professional, educational and creative practitioners, including the dissemination of work funded by such partnerships.

In addition, the journal aims to contribute to the development of both integrated and diverse forms of research mediation, facilitate equitable relationships between media practice, theory and education and provide a critical bridge between the written article and the publishing of media practice and education research in other online media formats.

Submissions are invited on all aspects of media / creative / arts practice and education, policy, aesthetics and pedagogy, with a particular emphasis on the future of media practice and media education.

This may include submissions (both written articles and media / art works) relating to emerging issues, discourses, policy, education and the international geopolitics of media practice and education, with additional emphasis on the problems, challenges and opportunities of interdisciplinary research in the journal's related fields.
