Wed, November 30, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 3, Mockingbird 3Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session
Abstract
This session will report on Critical Discourse Analyses of deficit discourse in recent research as well as popular media reports about research, especially “word gap” studies. Popular media reports both represent literacy research and help create the “common sense” out of which literacy research may arise. Participants will leave equipped with understandings about the quality of the studies themselves, the slant of the reporting, and ways of responding to local deficit perspectives.
