Community-sourced, critical review of literature on academic literacies
In relation to our recent call for papers for a special edition of the Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education (JLDHE), to be published in November 2019 on academic literacies, we hope we can encourage you to post publicly in reply to this email over the next month (or to us privately if you prefer) offering either
- your comments on any one or more of the items in the suggested reading list below
and/or
- your suggestions for additional texts related to academic literacies and associated debates that you think others may find useful or interesting
We are hoping to stimulate conversation (hence our preference for you to reply to the list) that will yield material for what will become an edited, community-sourced, critical review of literature on academic literacies that we can publish in the special edition. All contributors will be credited in the published paper. So, what we would like from you, by 30th April 2019, is comment on items in the existing list below and/or recommendations, critiquing or drawing to the attention of colleagues other texts or resources relevant to academic literacies. We’d like each contributor to write:
• A summary of the content of your chosen text (in about 3 - 5 sentences).
• Why you were inspired to recommend or comment on it (again, approx. 3 - 5 sentences).
• What/Why your colleagues could gain from reading /viewing/using it (length ditto).
We very much hope you will be inspired to contribute!
