UNM professor educates community on digital media literacy

One UNM political science professor is continuing her teaching beyond a typical classroom in the Social Sciences Building.
Associate Professor Jessica Feezell is sharing thoughtful research and discussion with the greater Albuquerque community thanks to Albuquerque Oasis.
“The members of Albuquerque Oasis that I have had the privilege to engage with are smart, talented, engaged community members of very diverse backgrounds. I learn so much from them,“ Feezell said.
Albuquerque Oasis is a non-profit dedicated to educating learners of old ages with a broad array of tech, health and educational programming. Feezell added to that learning experience by a recent presentation on social media, misinformation and the generation gap.
She had given the presentation the year before, and both she and the audience were so enamored, she wanted to do it again.
“It was so fun, and the audience was so receptive that I couldn't say no when they asked me to come back this year for another talk. Oasis offers a broad array of classes for adult learners, wellness courses, tech tutoring, and is just a real gem in our community,” Feezell said.
