Toward equity innovations
This article overviews the realities of so-called “low achieving” students in Singapore, efforts to support them better, and the place of educational technology in this support. We undertook a comparative case study of lower tracked Normal Technical (NT) secondary school students and their teachers in two schools in Singapore. We found a diversity of student backgrounds and struggles, with many students facing barriers to academic success and soc…
Literacy, racial capitalism, and the politics of good feeling
This article advances a deeply political and material understanding of feeling in the context of racial capitalism. Informed by Ahmed's work on the 'politics of good feeling' (2008, 1) and Gilmore's concept of 'infrastructure of feeling' (2022, 490), we interrogate how feeling is regulated in everyday literacy contexts through two examples: 1) the history of the phrase 'joy of reading' and its use in a text for teachers and 2) a vignette in which…
To Become an Object Among Objects
This paper critically explores the implications of generative artificial “intelligence” (GAI) technologies for literacy theory and practice through a case study of the author's use of OpenAI's ChatGPT. The study opens with an overview of recent literature surrounding the pedagogical implications of using GAI with a focus on issues of racial justice, outlining an abolitionist political ecology approach to literacy that extends relational theories …
The Platformization of Writing Instruction
This chapter provides a systematic review of research published between 2006 and 2022 on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) platforms in writing instruction. We theorize writing and platforms as complex ecologies, investigating the interplay of their relations and implications for educational equity. Our findings suggested three functional categories of AI platforms in writing instruction (assistive, assessment, and authentication) and a foc…
On the material consequences of (digital) literacy
This article argues that digital writing pedagogy needs to prepare students to deal with underlying oppressive realities within the range of everyday digital writing practices as opposed to simply focusing on affordances as unfettered opportunities. In particular, digital writing is increasingly mediated through digital apps and other interactive platforms whose designs enroll us into the social arrangements of racial capitalism, including throug…
Digital selves, material bodies, and participant research tools
Analysis of social action has increasingly considered the place of ‘things’ in recent years, including seeing objects (both physical and digital) as co-participants in social interaction, systems, and the research process. This article argues that video ethnography is well positioned to address such considerations including, with some methodological shifts, digital activity. Drawing on the methodology and findings of an 8-month video ethnography …
