Symposium

The critical literacies symposium at the UKLA conference last week went very well (although we ran out of time, of course!). Guy has written a useful summary of the four papers here . Join in the discussion Guy and I had about the phrase 'critical literacy' - I think, for example, this it refers to both texts and practices (and multimedia/ multimodal analysis and production) and so I am not sure I fully subscribe to the notion that it is 'rooted in an autonomous literacy and an outsider mindset'. Interesting thought, however!
