  3. Screen Time: A Symposium on Media for Children and Youth

The Developmental Media Lab at Illinois Institute of Technology invites submissions for Screen Time, a one-day symposium exploring media for children and youth to be held on September 9, 2016 at the Illinois Tech campus in Chicago.

The time children and youth spend with screens—whether watching, playing, or learning—has become an area of significant concern. Shifts in media policy and distribution, the development and proliferation of new media forms, and other changes in the media landscape all raise important questions for parents, educators, researchers, and other stakeholders. This event is open to scholars and practitioners across disciplines at any stage in their careers and aims to foster transdisciplinary conversation.

This event is sponsored by the Department of Humanities; Department of Psychology; Lewis College of Human Sciences; Nayar Prize; Office of Student Access, Success, and Diversity Initiatives; and
TEC Center at Erikson Institute.
