Transnational and Transcultural Literacies: Journeys Across Time, Distance and Space

Session Submission Type: Study Group

Abstract

This year’s conference theme for LRA Conference encourages authors to consider issues for “Mobilizing Literacy Research for Social Transformation”. To this end, the Multilingual/Transnational Innovative Community Group (ICG) presents this proposal for a study group to explore the complex ways of hybrid language, multilingual literacies, and their intersection to further understand children’s and families’ experiences and their impact on their multilingual and multicultural journeys to understand in- and out-of-school language and literacy practices.
