Examples of literacy

• Since the 1980s, my research has focused upon novice academic literacies and, more specifically, on the relationships between academic literacies and genre theory.

• The book stresses the fluidity inherent in all literacies and ways in which divergent images/videogames position us to "read" these "texts" in different ways.

• A common, underlying theme across these readings is the pluralistic and transformative powers of critical literacies.

• Specifically, because our realities are so very different, if not incommensurable, by default critical literacies must always be provisional, emerging from new contexts of struggle.

• The author challenges researchers and teachers to reenvision viable classroom ecologies that provide access to school languages and literacies.

• As they are spread through schools, schooled literacies are very much geared at sorting pupils.

• Listening to learning outside the classroom: student teachers study playground literacies.

• His research interests include new literacies and classroom music learning, popular culture and education, and ethnomusicology and music education.
