Abstract

Despite the need, media literacy is not a common experience in the United States. While there have been efforts to incorporate media literacy in K-12 education, research suggests media literacy courses are limited in American colleges and universities. This article explores the obstacles presented by the neoliberal university and offers strategies for cultivating critical media literacy in higher education.
