COMM+MEDIA RESEARCH COLLABORATORY
cultivating transdisciplinary and transmedia approaches to the study of communication at Montclair State University
The impact of virtual schooling en masse will not be felt until we leave it. Like virtual reality we will not be able to truly understand learning during the pandemic until we exit our educational lockdown and return to the brick-and-mortar classroom. But it remains to be seen if and when we will ever fully return. In this media literacy thought-piece, Dr. Vanessa E. Greenwood contemplates the Oculus Rift as an allegory for reimagining post-pandemic schooling in the United States.
The C+MRC will be joining NAMLE to commemorate the 5th Annual National Media Literacy Week during October 21-25, 2019. We have a number of events, podcasts and resources to share. Check back regularly for updates.

Dr. Hugh Curnutt talks about his current research examining the impact of mobile technologies and self-authored media content on contemporary celebrity and the political economy of digital labor.
Dr. Vanessa (Domine) Greenwood officially kicked off the C+MRC podcast on 90.3 WMSC FM. In this inaugural episode, she engages Dr. Hugh Curnutt in a reflective discussion about video games as both a content and medium worthy of study in higher education.
