The Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society (JEMMS) explores how knowledge is constituted and conveyed in education via formal and informal media in their institutional, sociocultural, political, economic and historical contexts. It examines educational media both for use in schools (such as textbooks, educational films, OER and digital technologies, including learning platforms, apps, adaptive learning software or products based on generative AI) and media beyond the school with an educational relevance (such as museums or memorials). The journal’s focus is on how these media are produced, appropriated, approved and contested in educational settings, and on the roles they play in fostering concepts of identity and belonging.
The journal is international and welcomes studies from a wide range of disciplines. Contributions from sociology of knowledge might, for example, examine how discourses and educational media mutually inform one another; studies from history of education might evaluate these media as sources with which to reconstruct epistemic or cultural shifts; texts from media studies might explore how the affordances of educational media affect their appropriation and vice-versa; work from political science might inquire as to the agency of educational media as mirrors, objects and instruments of political discourse, while scholars of peace and conflict studies might examine the knowledge canons that educational media constitute in the light of state-controlled processes of communication, production and reception.
