Join us for the fourth event in the AI fall series, a roundtable highlighting media literacy.

This roundtable explores innovative ways to teach Russian through journalism, with a focus on developing students’ media literacy. Participants will discuss strategies for integrating critical reading of news texts into language instruction, teaching students to identify bias and ideological framing, and designing classroom activities that promote analytical thinking and critical reflection.

Roundtable Participants:

Dmitrii Pastushenkov (Harvard University) and Alexandra Shapiro (University of Georgia), who will be joined by their students: Sofiya Boroday, Tessa Conrardy, and Jessica Sobieski.

If you are a graduate student (non-member) requesting a registration fee waiver, email the committee co-chairs to get your registration code at eroby@friendsbalt.org or ikogel@bu.edu.
