Language, Literacy and Culture
Investigation and scholarship
Disciplinary Pillars
Our program focuses on the ways in which language, literacy and culture are integrally linked in K-12 and adult teaching and learning contexts. We examine the social, cultural and political constructions and institutions that affect language, literacy and culture education from various theoretical lenses and through diverse research methodologies. Much of our coursework and scholarship aligns with the following five disciplinary pillars:
- Social justice, agency and advocacy
- Reading, writing and language education
- 21st century literacies
- Children’s and young adult literature
- Sociocultural perspectives
