MEA Book Club

The MEA hosts a monthly reading group on language, technology, and the human condition on Zoom.

Join a welcoming community of readers, educators, and media ecologists as we explore one book a month from our Media Ecology 101 list that deepens our understanding of how media shape perception, behavior, and culture.

Anchored in the tradition of media ecology, this reading group is open to seasoned scholars and curious newcomers alike, MEA members and nonmembers, inviting everyone into rich, generative dialogue around the tools that extend — and sometimes erode — our humanity.

Acquiring and reading the book scheduled to be discussed is strongly encouraged but not required. Coming to the group with curiosity, questions, even uncertainty is okay too.
