Podcast appearances and mentions of mimi ito

Recorded Live at the Anime Station store in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles on July 13, 2024, rapper Denzel Curry talks with UC Irvine cultural anthropologist Dr. Mimi Ito about his relationship to anime and anime culture in Japan and abroad. We discuss Mimi's research that tracked how manga and anime grew from just a Japanese export to a global phenomenon. Fascinatingly, anime spread through the promotion of fan groups of American ex-pats that would trade anime and create subtitles for the American audience. After decades of promo provided by this “fan subbing” and AMV (anime music video) conventions, the media industry caught on and now distributes anime across multiple platforms. Denzel does a deep dive into his favorite anime programs and traces how he was first introduced as a child in Florida and was later inspired to incorporate it into his music and fashion.

This week Henry and Colin are joined by Cathy Cohen, a distinguished professor at the University of Chicago and Jen Humke, a senior program officer at the MacArthur Foundation to discuss Participatory Civic Media. Cohen discusses her work with The Black Youth Project and GenForward, projects that are focused on building independent institutions and influencing media institutions, respectively. These projects are supported by Humke through the MacArthur Foundation. We discuss the work introduced by the guests as they focus on engaging youth of color, predominantly Black youth in how they are represented and the way they represent themselves within digital media. Participatory civic media allow marginalized groups who have not had a voice in media, particularly in the political sphere, to now have one. We then consider the danger in focusing on voice more than power. More and more people may find their voice through a growing democratic digital media landscape, but that does not mean they are sharing in the power. How do we enact a power shift to give an equal playing field to all voices?A full transcript of this episode will be available soon!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Cathy Cohen is the David and Mary Winton Green Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. She is also the creator of The Black Youth Project and the GenForward Survey.Cohen is the author of Democracy Remixed: Black Youth and the Future of American Politics and The Boundaries of Blackness: AIDS and the Breakdown of Black Politics.

Want kids to learn? Research shows that bringing education into a game can make a huge difference in engagement and, in turn, learning. Of course, it can't just be any game; results are better when it is in a game they are already playing.This is precisely what the crew at Connected Camps is doing. Connected Camps is a nonprofit that provides hands-on, interactive, online programs in Minecraft, Roblox, and other esports platforms. They're run by expert near-peer mentors and cover various topics like Architecture, Business, Roman History, Coding, Game Design, Virology, and Theater.The connected learning experiences foster creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and interest-driven learning. By leveraging the power of open networks and partnering with community-based organizations, Connected Camps is committed to delivering the highest quality online learning experiences to young people in all walks of life.This isn't real just because it makes sense; this is a reality driven by the research conducted by Katie Salen, Connected Camps founder, and others. The proof is both in the research and (as they say) in the (digital) pudding.____________________________GuestsKatie SalenOn Linkedin

Remaking Tomorrow

Mimi Ito joins us to talk about her findings in the Digital Youth Project of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Initiative at the University of California, Irvine and how they have informed the Connected Learning Alliance and helped her establish Connected Camps.

In this episode, I’ll be speaking to three experts on youth development and screen time who also happen to be parents. First, we’ll hear, Sascha Brodsky. He’s a science and technology journalist, who recently wrote an article for Lifewire called, “Parents Say ‘Yes’ To Screen Time During the Pandemic,” where he talked to several parents and experts - letting them vent their concerns, but also justify their decisions. Two experts featured in the article are also with us for this episode. Lynette Owens, Founder & Global Director of Internet Safety for Kids and Families at Trend Micro. She dedicates a majority of her time leading workshops that educate parents and caregivers on all topics relating to children and internet use. And Dr. Mimi Ito, a cultural Anthropologist and Learning Scientist at University of California Irvine, joining us once again. Her work makes her an expert on children and youth’s changing relationships to media and technology.

Mimi Ito: Education in a Digitally Connected World | Steve Hargadon | Mar 12 2012 by Steve Hargadon

This episode features special guest Dr. Mimi Ito, cultural anthropologist and Professor in Residence at UC Irvine. Mimi is Director of UCI's Connected Learning Lab, as well as co-founder of non-profit and NASEF program partner Connected Camps. Mimi joins Mark in a discussion about youth interests in esports, and how we can embrace and supports all students' identities. We also learn about "Affinity Online: How Connection and Shared Interest Fuel Learning," a series of case studies of youth online affinity networks and their diverse interests written by Mimi alongside several leading connected learning researchers.

Imagine you’re an elementary school student. Your teacher has told your class to watch several streaming videos for a class project. You might want to watch some of the videos at home, but your family doesn’t have high-speed internet. That’s just one way technology in education can fail to serve some students. Mimi Ito, a cultural anthropologist at the University of California, Irvine who studies how young people use technology, says it’s not necessarily because the teachers or the people making edtech tools have bad intentions. She argues that understanding another person’s situation is tough if you don’t share that experience. EdSurge recently sat down with Ito at the Intentional Play Summit to get her thoughts on equity in edtech, creativity and how kids’ relationship to technology has changed over the years.

Mizuko (Mimi) Ito is a cultural anthropologist and learning scientist studying children and youth's new media use. She has 2 PhDs from Stanford University, one in Anthropology with the Dissertation "Engineering Play: Children's Software and the Productions of Everyday Life" and one in Education with the Dissertation "Interactive Media for Play: Kids, Computer Games, and the Productions of Everyday Life”. She is currently the Director of the Connected Learning Lab, and a Professor in Residence at University of California, Irvine's Department of Anthropology, Department of Education, Department of Informatics, and School of Education. She is also the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Chair in Digital Media and Learning and the CEO of Connected Camps, a non-profit organization that provides online learning programs in coding and the digital arts. Her specialities include: ethnographic fieldwork, educational technology, youth Internet culture We talk to Mimi about her unconventional path as an anthropologist interested in technology since the late 90s and about bridging boundaries between academic and applied fields. We talk about the social and political identity of commercial companies and the relationship between metrics and social and commercial benefit. We cover the definition and time shapes of internet culture and its significance to youth audiences. We talk about caretakers of youth and the internet; media literacy, access and trust, Google as a learning technology as well as ethics and privacy on social media platforms. Lastly, we talk about the value of using applied social scientists when studying digital cultures.

In this episode, we’re joined by two researchers affiliated with the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub – Mimi Ito from UC Irvine and Justin Reich from MIT. First we’ll get acquainted with their work more generally and learn about the unique research topics they’re pursuing at their respective institutions. Then, we talk extensively about a recent publication that they authored that was published through the Hub, called From Good Intentions to Real Outcomes: Equity by Design in Learning Technologies. We talk about the process of producing this report, including convening stakeholders from many different organizations involved in education technology and online learning, and the challenges and strategies identified with regard to equitable use of learning technologies in K-12 settings.

Dr. Mimi Ito talks about a program she directs that partners 8-13 year olds with high school students who teach them technical skills while playing Minecraft. And Dr. Richard West and his two daughters share what they do as a family to keep them all happy and active readers.

Talking to my sister Mimi about learning, social science and digital media.[EP-EN-33]

This Designers for Learning webcast was part of our Education Impact Day, a 12-hour webcast-athon held on Saturday, November 12, 2016 featuring 12 featured speakers. This is a recording of our conversation with Mizuko Ito, Professor at the University of California, Irvine.

Today we’re talking with Mimi Ito - an educator and anthropologist turned startup founder. Mimi & her co-founders run an innovative education startup that offers summer camps, after school programs and coding classes on custom Minecraft servers. My daughter attended a Connected Camp last summer - and it was a transformational experience for her, and frankly for me as well. Mimi has a gift for understanding how kids adopt and use new technologies - she’s written many influential books and papers on this topic, and she’s now turning her considerable talents towards building real products. I’ve known and admired Mimi for many years, and I'm thrilled to share with her deep insights about progressive education with you. Listen in and learn how Mimi bridges the gap between research & practice, and where her innovative startup is heading next.

At one point in my teaching career the phrase “connected learning” meant asking students to work in groups. In fact I remember being told by my teacher training school that is was the new thing and I better be sure to talk about how I love it during job interviews.The creation of the magical Internet, quickly redefined what connected learning really is and my guest today focuses her research on that very topic.Dr. Mimi Ito is a cultural anthropologist, studying youth and new media practices in the US and Japan. We discuss what connected learning looks like for young people today and how it can impact learning.  She is a featured keynote speaker at the 21st Century Learning Conference in Hong Kong.BioMizuko (Mimi) Ito is a cultural anthropologist, studying youth new media practices in the US and Japan.
