"Investigating 21st Century Literacies: Exploring Uses of New Literacies"
November 28 - December 1, 2012
San Diego, California at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina

The Literacy Research Association, a non-profit professional organization, is comprised of individuals who share an interest in advancing literacy theory, research, and practice. We are a community that engages in research and dialogue pertaining to literacy and related topics. We support the professional development of emerging and established scholars. We advocate research-informed improvements in education. We seek high-quality research and discussions of important theoretical or methodological issues. Interested parties are invited to submit proposals for presentation at the 62nd Annual Conference. The Conference will be held at the Sheraton Hotel in San Diego, California.

The theme of the 2012 Conference considers how literacy researchers are examining a range of new digital and print literacies in different social and cultural contexts. Authors of proposals are encouraged to incorporate this theme into the rationale for their proposals and to seek connections to this overarching theme in their research questions, theoretical and methodological orientations, findings, and/or interpretive perspectives.
