About this book
A 2022 SPE Outstanding Book Award Winner
How do ideas change practices and people? In Ideas That Changed Literacy Practices, 32 influential scholars in literacy education get personal about how they have worked on ideas and how those ideas have worked on them. Together, the essays offer never-before revealed personal histories of the authors' published writing about ideas that have shaped the field of literacy education. As a collection, the essays highlight some of the major themes that have guided and changed literacy practices over the last few decades. They also offer a rare glimpse into the complex ways histories of research emerge alongside personal and political influences on policy and practice.
The volume includes an introductory chapter by Sumara and Alvermann in which they detail the processes they used in creating a context for the significance of this work. They begin with the premise that most literacy scholars rarely, if ever, reveal their personal and intellectual investments in ideas that have animated their research and other scholarly endeavors. That this observation rang true for all of the contributors was evidenced in their responses to the invitation. For example, some replied by saying this was the most exciting project they had engaged in because it required reflection on what motivated them to write the requested 3,500-word essay; others mentioned they were looking forward to reading what their peers would share.
Ideas That Changed Literacy Practices is a unique collection of autobiographical essays that situates literacy learning and teaching in a rich context of personal and professional knowledge that highlights and celebrates the vibrant complexities of the field of literacy education. It is a unique and valuable resource for researchers and educators, whether in K-12 or higher education.
Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Literacy Research ? Literacy Research and Methods ? Language, Literacy and Culture ? Literacy Policy and Practice ? Narrative Research ? Interpretive Inquiry ? Research Methods in Education ? Foundations of Literacy Education ? Research Methods in Language and Literacy ? Popular Culture in Literacy Classrooms ? New and Digital Literacies ? History of Literacy Practices ? Educational Philosophy ? Reading and Language Arts ? Critical Theory ? Poststructuralism ? Digital Media Education ? Creative Writing ? Politics of Literacy
