what we do

Literacies is where the education community shares ideas and experiences.

Literacies is a national forum that includes university-based researchers, program-based researchers, policy-makers and program workers.

To us, literacy practice includes a wide range of activities that help people learn, use and extend literacies. These activities include organized literacy programs as well as other activities that integrate literacy development and expand people’s opportunities and resources for reading and writing. We provide a medium for a range of inquiries including analysis, discussions, debates, reflections and creative work in all aspects of research and practice in education. Literacies encourages and supports writers from a diversity of experiences and backgrounds as they create an inclusive dialogue.

Our objective is to promote writing about research in practice in Canada and to cultivate and develop writership among literacy and adult education workers. By communicating and documenting individual scholarship and experiences, Literacies advances a collective understanding of literacy work in the field,Breitling Replica Watches promotes the exchange of ideas with policy-makers and theorists, and builds and strengthens the community.
