Abstract

A revised version of a keynote address presented at the First Media Ecology Association Student Symposium held online on 3 February 2024, this article represents a reflection on the role of education within the media ecology intellectual tradition. Whether we are teaching others or teaching ourselves, we are media, mediating between past and future, ignorance and knowledge and ourselves and the world that we inhabit. Within the field of media ecology, the question of how is paramount, how we relate to and influence our environment and others and how we study and learn and teach.
