Critical Thinking about the Media

Artificial Intelligence Basics

What you will learn
Many of us have a feeling that the mainstream media is not to be trusted, but we may not be sure what the problem exactly is or how to protect ourselves. This is a class in intellectual self-defence. We will look at some of the ways in which the media creates a false picture of the world, and we will also explore some of the ways we can resist, using tools developed by US linguist Noam Chomsky.

Meet your workshop leader:
Milan Rai is a local author who has published four books, including Chomsky’s Politics (Verso, 1995).

The Alley Way Learning Programme is a community learning project by Hastings Commons. The programme makes learning accessible and inclusive for local communities and people. We take learning out of usual educational environments and create learning spaces that empower people with new skills, build a supportive community network, and grow confidence.
Alley Way Learning is supported by the National Lottery Community Fund.
