Mark Lipton is an Associate Professor in the College of Arts at the University of Guelph. He runs the Media Education Project, funded by the Canadian Council on Learning and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. As an advocate for media literacy, his research assesses Canadian teachers and their engagement with media and ICTs in teaching and learning contexts. In the classroom he strikes a balance between theory and practice by using alternative pedagogical models from multidisciplinary perspectives.
Before coming to Guelph, Lipton directed the Media Ecology program at New York University, worked as a resource and site advisor for New York City public school teachers, taught at the Harvey Milk High School in New York City, held the Mellon Fellowship in Visual Literacy at Vassar College and was the recipient of a Ford Foundation grant.
