We’ll consider how varying definitions, attitudes, and theories of those practices impact people. Some of our key questions will be: What is literacy? What is identity? What does it mean to think of these as interrelated “social practices?” How do literacy and identity sustain each other? How do literacy and identity get represented and studied in various settings (family, school, community, workplace, and public realms)? What are the central sites of conflict surrounding intersections of literacy and identity today? We’ll also attempt to understand how we can better recognize, analyze, employ, and—when necessary—interrupt and talk back to ideas of literacy and identity that circulate in and shape our lives. Throughout the course, we’ll use our thinking and research on literacy and identity as resources for writing.
