Session Type: Symposium
This symposium compiles five studies exploring the multifaceted roles of digital platforms—ranging from social media and online communities to AI tools—in shaping contemporary literacy practices and identities. By examining diverse contexts, these works reveal how digital infrastructures facilitate social, cultural, and pedagogical shifts in reading, writing, and teaching, while critically exploring tensions and opportunities for fostering equitable, inclusive, and future-ready literacy education. Emphasizing social, cognitive, and infrastructural dimensions, each study underscores digital platforms’ potential to reimagine and sustain literacies in an increasingly postdigital world.
