Literacy Research that “Sounds Like Fun”: Building Playful Methods for Co-Inquiry with Children
Fri, December 5, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, Floor: Mezzanine Floor, Celebrity Ballroom 5Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
As adult agendas and curricular constraints risk overwriting children’s fun in literacies, five emerging and established scholars from two countries highlight research methods children describe as fun. Convening early and middle-grade researchers whose work cuts across theories, methods, and contexts, symposium authors showcase how following the emic concept of fun can recenter children’s priorities and perspectives in literacy research while (re)positioning them as experts on their own literacy practices.
