The Popular Media for Social Change Research Excellence Cluster is excited to announce the 2025-6 recipients of the Pop Pedagogies Award. Please join us in congratulating them!
Each of these scholars is developing innovative lesson plans, modules, or units that meaningfully integrate popular media (imagined broadly) into teaching and learning. Over the coming year, you will be able to find their open-access learning materials in the Pop Pedagogies Archive. Topics including the evolution of media and propaganda, the complex nature of disclaimers, role-play-based climate justice engagement, language learning via Cantonese stand-up comedy, Vikings in popular media, accessible and multisensory art appreciation, and contemporary Cantonese in hip-hop.
You can learn more about these projects and the brilliant people behind them here!
