Celebrating Luis Moll’s Legacy: The Application of Funds of Knowledge in Research and Practice in the U.S. and Abroad.
Wed, December 4, 8:30 to 10:00am, Westin Peachtree Plaza, Floor: 7th, Augusta 2Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium honors Dr. Luis Moll's academic legacy, notably his contributions to language and literacy education, particularly the concept of Funds of Knowledge. Originating over 30 years ago, research on Funds of Knowledge primarily focused on literacy education for Latinx children in the US Southwest. Through the research papers, we continue to advance a 'sociocultural' approach in education, leveraging the experiences and knowledge of families and children, especially from low-income communities.
