Diverse Voices and Interpretations of Digital Literacies: Continuing the Conversation

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

Defining digital literacies is critical for designing meaningful research-informed pedagogies, policies, and assessments that support methodological imagination and invite learners into diverse learning contexts. Shifting conceptions of digital literacies, shaped by social, cultural, and political contexts, make this work challenging. Facilitated by co-editors of an upcoming international handbook of research, this alternative session promotes conversation designed to push the boundaries of theory, research, and practice in digital literacies with new voices and diverse perspectives.
