61.017 - Post-Truth? The Power of Repertoires of Everyday Practice of Youth From Nondominant Communities

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The papers in the symposium examine the power of repertoires of everyday practice of youth from non-dominant communities as resources for interrogating their political, social and economic challenges. These resources include critical literacies entailing language, knowledge and epistemological dispositions and their relevance and potential uptake in the literacy demands of schooling. These include critical literacies across several disciplines and in so doing raise important questions about what constitutes disciplinary expertise in the context of schooling. The symposium is interactive in that the audience will actively examine exemplars of these everyday literate practices and their implications.
