Approaches to Discourse Analysis that Examine Backup in Literacy Education

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

This session will share how literacy scholars use various approaches to DA (e.g., reconstructive discourse analysis, narrative discourse analysis) to examine how educators engage in civil literacies necessary to create needed change in contested spaces. As part of a series hosted by the Discourse Analysis Study Group, we intend this session to develop deeper understandings among attendees about the use of DA in making visible how such change can be socially and discursively constructed.
