DESCRIPTION:In-person attendance is limited to MIT community members enroll
 ed in Covid Pass. You MIT ID will be scanned when you arrive.\n\nIn this t
 alk\, Victoria Cain provides a brief overview of some of the themes of her
  new book\, Schools and Screens: A Watchful History\, and a deeper dive in
 to a few defining experiments with educational media in twentieth century 
 US schools. Her talk will focus on the struggle of successive generations 
 of education reformers who attempted to meet massive social and economic c
 rises through careful instruction in media viewing and collective discussi
 on. Cain will consider how and why these reformers came to conclude that 
 “civic spectatorship” was essential to modern education and democratic
  participation\, and reflect on the significance of their experiments for 
 schools today. \n\nVictoria Cain teaches in the Department of History at N
 ortheastern University. She is the author of Schools and Screens: A Watchf
 ul History (MIT\, 2021)\, as well as numerous articles and chapters on med
 ia\, technology and education\, and the co-author\, with Karen Rader\, of 
 Life on Display: Revolutionizing U.S. Museums of Science and Natural Histo
 ry (Chicago\, 2014). Her newest project explores the history and politics 
 of adolescent privacy.
