Inventing expert in English language arts
Drawing from data generated during the 2016-2017 academic year, this study centred on U.S. children’s design of two critical literacies compositions—a letter to Congress and a persuasive multimodal text. Situated within an integrated unit focused on (im)migrants, children asked legislators to act on the GOP Administration’s proposed border wall and the #MuslimBan. Simultaneously, their teacher took steps to engage students in critical literacies …
Critically considering and conceptualizing social contexts as curriculum
and the United States, many students, teachers, and families eagerly await the arrival of summer.For many adults-in education and elsewhere-turning the proverbial calendar page can also offer them alternative opportunities for rest and renewal, particularly if they are privileged enough to anticipate previously planned vacations or other leisure.adults in Canada and the US often position students as having a shared understanding of the sanctity o…
‘ Covid taught me…’
Framed by critical literacies, the author adapted ethnographic methods to virtual spaces to examine radio as an alternative way to enhance adult understanding of children's COVID-19 experiences. Drawing on a subset of child-produced radio segments from March 2021, she foregrounds how children in an extracurricular program strategically used radio to share their pandemic experiences with their community. Supplemented by 5 months of virtual observa…
Palimpsests for reading politics and reconfiguring power within and beyond learning spaces
Navigating play in a pandemic
Much research about children's play as a tool for navigating social worlds and difficult circumstances describes individuals or small groups of children playing synchronously, frequently in school or lab settings. Fewer studies consider the possibilities of asynchronous outdoor play, the topic of this paper. Drawing from a series of photographs generated in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the author describes children's outdoor play in…
When the Clips Are Down
Historically, research about classroom management has been instrumental in nature. Although some studies have engaged a critical perspective, few have studied management from the perspectives of children. Through interviews with third-grade children, this study asked: How do third graders make sense of a "clip chart" classroom management system in relation to themselves and their classmates? Findings provide insights into how management practices…
Writing as a Minecrafter
Background/Context Educators have considered how Minecraft supports language and literacy practices in the game and in the spaces and circumstances immediately surrounding gameplay. However, it is still necessary to develop additional conceptualizations of how children and youth's online and offline worlds and experiences are blurred by and through the games. In this study, I take up this call and examine how the boundaries of the digital were bl…
Orienting Our Ears to Community
Authors featured in this department share anthropological perspectives and qualitative insights to redefine community in adolescent and adult literacy practice
Children’s Rhetoric in an Era of (Im)Migration
There is a particular urgency in this political moment to understand children’s experiences with current events. Drawing from data generated following the 2016 presidential election, this paper focuses on three racially and linguistically diverse children’s persuasive compositions. Within a critical literacies writing unit focused on (im)migrant experiences, children called on legislators to act on the Republican administration’s policies. Buildi…
Disentangling the possibilities, practicalities, and progressions of writing in the contemporary (digital) era
Drawing from data generated in a third-grade classroom in the months following the 2016 US presidential election, this article zooms in on self-produced videos a child made of her writing process. Organized around 3 "takes" of the child's writing, the author provides readers a glimpse into (1) the child's composing in the videos, (2) a narrative retelling of the author's viewing of the video series, and (3) a list of insights for educational rese…
Sound, Sentience, and Schooling
This article examines how sound-as a medium, method, and modality-attunes educational ethnographers to writing the "field" in new ways. In particular, the authors ask: How might cultivating practices of writing the field recording reorient the field note as an ethnographic object of inquiry? Examining the field recording as a representational, experimental, and pedagogical resource for prolonging encounters, this article reframes inquiry to disru…
“Keep Walls Down Instead of Up”
Drawing on data generated following the 2016 United States presidential election, in this article the author considers how a classroom makerspace made Black girls’ literacies visible in new ways. During a six-week integrated humanities unit in a third-grade public school classroom in the Midwestern U.S., four Black girls used making to create a space for themselves to collaboratively make sense of contemporary (im)migration issues. In the finding…
Sound the alarm
Classrooms are host to complex sonic ecologies informed by ritualized patterns and routines, but there remains a dearth of scholarship studying everyday sounds of schooling. Such research is important because it can amplify in new ways how children’s identities are constructed and thickened over time. This interpretive case study takes up the question as it interrogates sound’s capacity to inform children’s identities in a resource-limited, publi…
Re)Mediating (Un)Heard Resonances
Although other disciplines have explored sound as more than oral language, music, or noise, educational scholarship exploring everyday soundscapes still has room to grow. In this article, a team of transdisciplinary scholars from education, writing and rhetoric, and ethnomusicology explore new possibilities for sound in research and teaching by examining a cross-course assignment grounded in the sonic experiences of a residential, living-learning…
(Re)educating the senses to multicultural communities
Attuning to the acoustic ecologies of multicultural education, this critical qualitative project interrogated how elementary prospective teachers (PST) used digital media to write community through and with sound. Examining PST produced soundscapes and the practice of sonic cartography, this study inquired how hearing difference and listening to community re-educated the senses towards issues of difference, belonging, and multiculturalism. Findin…
