Intersectionalities of Christian Literacies and Literacy Education in U.S. Schools

Sun, April 19, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session examines intersections of religion, language, literacy, and education. Specifically, the presenters focus on the ways in which Christian literacies, languaging, and ways of knowing continue to outline and underlie educational practice in the contemporary US. The panel emphasizes four themes: (1) Intersections of race, Christianity, and literacy education, (2) Christian literacies within a pluralistic society, (3) gender, sexuality, and Christian identifications, and (4) epistemological and ontological relations between Christianities and teaching English / Language Arts. The panel discusses multiple inquiries into the legacy of Christian religious practice and discourse that occur within, beyond, and around US schools.
