Reimagining Literacy and Language Education for Girls of Color

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel will reveal how the study of Girls of Color (GOC) literacies allows education scholars to engage an asset orientation towards GOC to see how they are engaging in literacies through a variety of modes and practices such as digital, visual, oral, relational, and embodied literacies. Taking up these issues in education can help illuminate both the ways GOC are connected and how they are different, dependent on their dynamic identities and contexts. Re-framing literacies and GOC in this way opens opportunities for the exploration of the ways that GOC are leveraging their intersectional identities, cultural knowledge, and experiences toward consuming and creating meaning in beautifully varied ways.
