Session Submission Summary

Opportunities for Identity Work in the Face of Risk and Resilience Through Literature

Tue, April 12, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 150 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium offers empirical studies of interventions addressing how recruitment of cultural repertoires and explicit scaffolding to support literary reasoning impact the acquisition of skills in literary argumentation as well as identity development among urban adolescent students. These studies demonstrate how the recruitment of cultural resources, explicit disciplinary scaffolding, and identity wrestling support rigorous skill development and expand opportunities for navigating multiple points of view, all essential in preparing students for strong civic engagement. They also point to the generative possibilities of literature study to address these challenges.
