Session Submission Type: Symposium
This symposium brings together four papers that address how literacy researchers and teachers negotiate complex political demands in their work. Collectively, these papers situate teacher development as contexts for identities in the making, and argue for transformative inquiry that nurtures the development of teachers who are able to negotiate complex political terrain and teach against the grain.

Developing Trusting Literacy Coaching Relationships within Spaces of Discomfort - Carolyn S. Hunt, Illinois State University
Classroom Participatory Action Research as Professional Development - Lara Handsfield, Illinois State University; Patricia M Valente, McLean County Unit 5 School District
Inquiry, engagement and identity: Novice charter school teachers’ professional learning - Mary McGriff, New Jersey City University; Muriel Rand, New Jersey City University
