Media R Us is a crash course in the most recent research on screen media and young children. It provides a
look at the role media plays in development, socialization, identity and imagination of young children and
aims to create awareness and opportunities for educators to make choices that will enhance critical media
education skills, even in the youngest viewers.

Presenter: Kym Stewart holds a PhD in Education and an M.A in Communications from Simon Fraser
University. Her PhD thesis explores her decades of media research, including various projects looking at
children’s media culture and media education practices. Her M.A. also explored youth media culture and is
one of the earliest explorations of South Korea’s youth gaming.
