Afternoon Drive 11-21-24 MUSIC Jonny Deups

Mary Jacobsen speaks with historian, retired high school history teacher, and curriculum consultant on genocide education Susan Harvey about the act signed into law by Governor Baker in December 2021, mandating that Massachusetts school districts provide instruction about the history of genocide to middle and high school students.  Harvey talks about the purpose of the law and how it defines genocide.

Harvey also speaks about how the curriculum on genocide differs in objectives and content for middle schoolers and high school students. She talks about some of the diaries, memoirs, literature and historical accounts used in different grades, and discusses students’ responses to these lessons, both their self-reports and her own observations.

Historically, genocides develop in recognizable stages, which Harvey explains, offering examples of how later atrocities grow from early roots in bigotry, dehumanizing rhetoric, and hatred. She discusses how knowledge of these predictable patterns provides us with a powerful tool to prevent a descent into violence.

Race Matters Eps 60: WOKE

Mary Jacobsen speaks with Dr. Renee Hobbs, Founder of Media Education Lab (MEL) and Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island, and Kyra Brissette, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Development for Media Literacy Now about the Media Education Lab’s mission of advancing media literacy education by helping students to develop what they call “the four C’s: communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.” They describe some of the multimedia resources they’ve developed to help parents, educators, and others integrate media literacy education into their work with learners of all ages, including efforts to help students learn how to determine the credibility of digital sources and to decode strategies used in propaganda and advertising.

MEL’s scope is international, and includes educational projects in Massachusetts, which Brissette describes, including the Massachusetts Media Literacy Survey, which is intended for teachers and administrators in all Massachusetts school districts and will be open until 12/20/24.

For information and a link to the survey, visit https://medialiteracynow.org/important-info-for-massachusetts-teachers-administrators/.
