*/A discussion with Dr. Stuart R. Poyntz, Ph.D.
Saturday March 5, 1–2pmin the Gallery

This discussion looks at the impact of digital media on youth culture. 
How does imagery from television, film, video games, and fashion 
magazines impact our youth? How do we navigate our children and 
ourselves through the bombardment of violent and sexualized images that 
we are exposed to on a daily basis?

and Production for the School of Communication at Simon Fraser 
University. Dr. Poyntz works with children’s media culture, theories of 
the public sphere, and young people’s historical thinking in relation to 
digital media. He has an extensive background in the history of media 
literacy, nationally and internationally, and has published writing in 
the /Canadian Journal of Education/, the /Review of Education, Pedagogy 
and Cultural Studies/, and various edited collections. His new book, 
/Media Literacies: Between Past and Future/, will be published by
