Professor Lydia Plowman visited the ‘Comparing Children’s Media Around the World’ conference, held at the University of Westminster on the 4th of September 2015, where she addressed attendees from around the globe, on some of the groundbreaking research in which she is involved. The Comparing Children’s Media Around the World conference set out to discuss an international, cross-cultural approach for delivering children’s media, and featured contributions from academic thinkers in addition to a panel of intercontinental media producers.
Lydia presented findings from the ESRC-funded project ‘Exploring play and creativity in pre-schoolers’ use of apps’, a project led by Prof. Jackie Marsh at the University of Sheffield. If you would like to hear more about the project and the current research findings, please follow the link below:
Lydia was also involved in another presentation, led by Dr Stephane Chaudron of the ‘European Commission-funded Joint Research Centre on the Digital Citizen’, regarding ‘Comparing young children’s use of digital media across Europe’.
