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.
