Media Design: Re-Imagining Civic Engagement
The Media Design Program, housed in the Engagement Lab @Emerson College, is an applied research Masters program that embraces participatory design to place students in partnership with organizations in the real world. Media Design students create technologies, public art installations, participatory storytelling platforms and other processes and practices that support more equitable and just civic engagement. On exhibition in this space are the final prototypes of six projects for the 2021-22 academic year. Their projects – ranging from platforms, technologies and facilitations – help us re-imagine media-based responses to social and civic problems in Boston and around the world.
