Call for Proposals
Expanding Literacy Studies is an International, Interdisciplinary Conference for
Graduate Students to be held April 3-5, 2009, at The Ohio State University.
Literacy Studies is a recent construct. At the same time, it addresses
long-standing questions and concerns within and across disciplines. But what is
literacy? Who is studying it? And how is it being studied?
Literacy is traditionally defined as reading and writing. Contemporary
constructs, however, include everything from cyber and health literacy to
mathematical and visual literacy. The potential advance this broadened view
might represent is complicated by historical myths about literacy, persistent
fears about declines in literacy, and failure to connect literacy research
across disciplines.
Addressing the need for an expanded conversation about literacy that exceeds
disciplinary boundaries, this conference is a space for graduate and
professional students from all fields to ask questions, consider directions,
examine representations, make connections, and share investigations of literacy,
broadly defined. This conference aims to expand the dialogue and explore the
landscape and intersections of literacy studies as a framework of critical
investigation. This approach is meant to do the double work of expanding the
field while critiquing the expansion. To that end, we invite proposals from
graduate and professional students in all fields.
