47.094 - Critical Digital Literacies in a "Post-Truth" Era

Sun, April 7, 11:50am to 1:20pm, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Second Floor, City Hall - Working Group

Session Type: Working Group Roundtable

Abstract

In this working group roundtable, we aim to develop a robust theorization of Critical Digital Literacies (CDL) as a way to reframe and address the challenges of learning, teaching, and living in a digitally-connected, “post-truth” era. This theorization solicits contributions from scholars across a variety of disciplinary perspectives and locations to address the role of CDL in contemporary educational settings, within and beyond the classroom. We seek to explore the notion of CDL from schools to shared public spaces: in classroom pedagogies, second language learning, affinity spaces, the role of design, critical computation, and digital civic participation. This session is a step toward the crafting of a manifesto bridging theory, research, and practice in CDL in the 21st century.
