Literacy, Equity, Imagination

Literacy Research Association 65th Annual Conference
Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, Carlsbad, CA, December 2-5, 2015

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. Only original work related to literacy not presented or published elsewhere may be proposed for the conference.

The theme of the 2015 Conference, “Literacy, Equity, and Imagination” focuses on the centrality of imagination and improvisation in literacy research and education as youth, educators, and researchers create new conditions for inclusion and equity across multiple communities, languages, forums, and expressive modes.
