Literacy and Identities Study Group

Session Submission Type: Study Group

Abstract

The Literacy and Identities Study group provides a forum to explore current issues and topics related to the study of identities in the literacy field. Identity studies broadly engage with the complexity of literacy by exploring how students and teachers make and remake ideas about who they are as readers and writers. Sessions will provide spaces for dialogue on issues in identity studies and opportunities to develop collaborations.
