Session Submission Type: Symposium
This session is grounded on the premise that Black girls’ literacies are: multiple, tied to identities and selfhood, historical, collaborative, intellectual, and political/critical (Muhammad & Haddix, 2016). We present three research studies that highlight the ways Black girls engage multimodal tools to agitate systemic racism and other oppressions, compose digital texts, and depict their futures.
Paper 1: Black Girls and the Need for Agitation Literacies in Schools - Gholnecsar Muhammad, Georgia State University
Paper 2: Black girls’ multimodal composing practices in the urban secondary literacy context - Delicia Greene, University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY)
Paper 3: Black teen girls as future-makers: Multimodal representations of aspirational, navigational, and resistant capital - Autumn Griffin, University of Maryland - College Park; Jennifer Danridge Turner, University of Maryland College Park
