Graffiti and Multimodal Inquiry
This paper examines the literacies of Lane (pseudonym), a 12‐year‐old Latino youth, within a semester‐long community literacy partnership held while mothers attended GED classes. Lane's multimodal inquiry into graffiti unfolded through a curated text set in an inquiry‐based researcher workshop model.

Not only did the ute strike us as such a quintessentially Australian vehicle for which the police were sea…

The authors focus on the impact that things left behind by the dead or missing have on those whose loved them, arguing that such traces provide a glimmer of materiality that those left behind can desperately crave
