Literacy as civil-rights agencies: Refusing and reorienting the narrative of banned or challenged texts
Sat, December 7, 8:45 to 10:15am, Westin Peachtree Plaza, Floor: 8th, Peachtree 2Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
The question of which classroom texts should be used to teach literacy has grown increasingly contentious in recent years. This symposium invites participants to consider: How might our inquiries refuse/reorient censorship narratives? How might doing so enable us to explore the ethical possibilities of literacy as a civil right and active agent in promoting justice and/or sustaining violence? What happens to literacy learning/instruction/research when we trouble political regulations/mandates/movements that violently reinforce white heteropatriarchal ways of knowing/being/doing?
