Literacy in Composition Studies is pleased to announce publication of our spring issue. Here is the link to the full issue, which is open-access as always: http://licsjournal.org
Here’s what you’ll find in this issue:
In “Daughters Learning from Fathers: Migrant Family Literacies that Mediate Borders,” Kaia Simon demonstrates the unexpected role fathers play in promoting their daughters’ pursuit of literacy education within Hmong families in the US.
In “Reciprocal Literacy Sponsorship in Service-Learning Settings,” Kara Poe Alexander illustrates how students and clients sponsored one another’s rhetorical, technological, social, ethical, and critical literacies.
As the third feature of this issue, we are delighted to reprint an interview with Harvey J. Graff and Brian Street. The interview was conducted by Ana Maria de Oliveira Galvão, Maria Cristina Soares de Gouvêa, and Ana Maria Rabelo Gomes in Brazil in August 2014, during the V International Colloquium for Literacy and Written Culture. During the interview, Graff and Street discuss the origins of their decisions to study literacy, the influences and experiences that have shaped their work, and the field’s interdisciplinarity.
Phillip Goodwin’s review essay, “Around the Bend,” synthesizes Frank Farmer’s After the Public Turn: Composition, Counterpublics, and the Citizen Bricouleur, Amy Wan’s Producing Good Citizens: Literacy Training in Anxious Times, and Jonathan Alexander and Jacqueline Rhodes’ On Multimodality: New Media in Composition Studies to offer a glimpse “around our current turn” toward the social in Composition Studies.
Finally, to mark our fifth anniversary, we invited the Editorial Board and Editorial Associates to reflect on the last five years of the journal and to look ahead in a symposium which asks, “What is to be done?” Rebekah Buchanan offers examples of how she is negotiating and revealing the politics of schooling and community writing with pedagogies informed by her New Literacy Studies scholarship. Christian Smith proposes that now more than ever, rhetorical listening and mindful practice offer strategies for our time. To close the issue, Steve Parks reflects on how the election and its aftermath have shifted how he views his partnerships, most notably with Syrians for Truth and Justice, when “it too often felt like much of the progressive inclusive rhetoric that has marked work in literacy in composition had been for naught.”
Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
LiCS Editorial Team
