"Jocson’s bridging of theory with contemporary practice is a hallmark of the text and helps the reader to see the interconnectedness of literacy theory. The use of such robust theory further supports the complexity of the new literacies practices and helps us make sense of what is happening when students work with these texts." [excerpt from de Hart]

"Youth Media Matters combines case studies and examples of artistic productions, linked together critically within her theory, method, and analysis of understanding the significance of new media literacies in youth culture and education. Jocson defines new media literacies as “emergent thinking” and “emergent concepts” (9) in three different areas: new media, new literacies, and media literacies. The case studies and artistic examples highlight Jocson’s teaching projects, and involvement with artists working, at the intersection of literary and media arts." [excerpt from Chamberlain-Snider]
