About the Book

In this volume, renowned literacy and language education scholars who have shaped policy and practice aimed toward social justice and equity address current intellectual and practical issues in the teaching of literacy in classrooms and educational environments across diverse and international settings. Drawn from talks that were presented live and hosted by Global Conversations in Literacy Research (GCLR), an online open-access critical literacy project, this book provides access, in edited written form, to these scholars’ critically and historically situated talks. Bringing together talks on diverse topics—including digital and media literacy, video games, critical literacy, and ESOL—Albers preserves the scholars’ critical discourses to engage readers in the conversation. Offering a broad and expansive understanding of what literacy has to offer for scholars, teachers, and students, this book demonstrates the importance of positioning literacy as a social practice and brings critical literacy to a global audience.

Each chapter offers cutting edge perspectives and insights from esteemed literacy researchers and theorists from around the world." --Amy Seely Flint, University of Louisville, USA "This is an outstanding text for a course focusing on socio-cultural aspects of language and literacy learning. The talks feature renowned literacy scholars who share cutting-edge research on topics such as critical literacy, digital literacies, multimodal learning, and more.
