Complicating Asset-Oriented Literacy Pedagogies in the Classroom and Community: Negotiating Funds of Knowledge/Identity Entanglements

Thu, April 21, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), San Diego Convention Center, Floor: Upper Level, Room 1A

Session Type: Working Group Roundtable

Abstract

This session foregrounds the possibilities and challenges of building asset-oriented literacy pedagogies in the classroom and in the culture, drawing from vulnerable learners’ and community members’ funds of knowledge and funds of identity: How do funds of knowledge/identity reify, complicate and/or generate more equitable spaces for youth and adults in K-16 schools and communities? What are the epistemic perspectives issuing from and constraining the vantage point of precarious teachers/learners/citizens? How do literacy teachers/learners/citizens contribute to and constrain larger movements for social change? Speakers will trace these questions across a Chicago kindergarten, an Indiana middle school, an art academy high school in Fresno, a midwestern teacher preparation program, and a protest movement in Chile.
