Civil Literacies: Cultivating Productive Action Across Differences and Divides

Literacy Research Association 75th Annual Conference December 3rd - December 6th, 2025 Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

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. An important part of LRA’s mission is to support the professional development of emerging and established scholars, and to advocate for research-informed improvements in education. We seek high-quality research and discussions of important theoretical and methodological issues. Only original work related to literacy that has not been presented or published elsewhere may be proposed for the conference. Also, proposals should not be simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

Conference Chair, Cynthia H. Brock
