in the Digital Age </i>by Sonia Livingstone and Julian <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 238, 148); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Sefton</span>-Green (New York University Press 2016).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">Focusing on the everyday and routine uses of media in the home, I will describe how learning is constructed, mediated and enacted; how different families
adopt and use folk ‘theories of learning’; and how such theories relate to dominant discourses around learning in school. I examine how domestic media technologies contribute to dominant conceptualizations of education and how learning is enacted as a discipline
and as a habit within the ebb and flow of family life. I question assumptions about how we talk about learning in the home by showing that who defines learning in domestic contexts - and on what basis - is subject to a series of class-based, inherited and
aspirational discourses and imaginaries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
