Remembering Courtney Cazden, 1925–2025
Here we remember and honor Courtney B. Cazden (1925–2025), whose scholarship, mentorship, and moral clarity profoundly shaped the study of language, literacy, and learning. Drawing on our shared experiences as colleagues, collaborators, students, and friends, we reflect on Courtney's enduring contributions to classroom discourse analysis, bilingual and Indigenous education, sociocultural theories of learning, and the pedagogy of multiliteracies. …
Phil Graham and axiological discourse analysis
This is an essay introduction to a special edition of Critical Discourse Studies on the work of Phil Graham. It is a critical overview and reappraisal of his major interdisciplinary contribution to the field: an axiological approach that focuses on meaning and values in a materialist political economy of language. The contributors to this volume enlist Graham's approach to trace the aftermaths and discontents of neoliberalism: nothing less than r…

Two Worlds Apart
Learning through difference
School literacy instruction is an institutional practice always embedded in community matters of cultural identity, economic access and social power. This chapter presents a vocabulary for discussing the development of language and literacy, and for understanding the relationship of the diverse knowledge and practices children bring from community cultures to the social and language environments of the school. It describes Elsey's language learni…

Luke look…
Designing online assessment tools for disengaged youth
This article reports on the development of online assessment tools for disengaged youth in flexible learning environments. Sociocultural theories of learning and assessment and Bourdieu's sociological concepts of capital and exchange were used to design a purpose-built content management system. This design experiment engaged participants in assessment that led to the exchange of self, peer and teacher judgements for credentialing. This collabora…

After the Testing
This critical essay discusses the challenges and prospects for the reform of school‐based literacy programs. It begins with an overview of the effects of a decade of test‐driven accountability policy on research and teachers’ work, noting the continuing challenges of new demographics, cultures and technologies for literacy education. The case is made that whole school literacy programs can make a difference in improving the overall education of s…
Choosing your niche
The International Baccalaureate’s (IB) branding and reputation targets academic high achievers aiming for university entrance. This is an empirical examination of the growing popularity of this transnational secondary credential amongst local populations in Australia, focusing on its uptake across the community, and the discourses underpinning its spread and popularity. This paper reports on online surveys of 179 parents and 231 students in schoo…
Critical Literacy
This article traces the lineage of critical literacy from Freire through critical pedagogies and discourse analysis. It discusses the need for a contingent definition of critical literacy, given the increasingly sophisticated nature of texts and discourses
Critical Discourse Analysis and Political Economy of Communication
This article uses critical discourse analysis to analyze material shifts in the political economy of communications. It examines texts of major corporations to describe four key changes in political economy: (1) the separation of ownership from control; (2) the separation of business from industry; (3) the separation of accountability from responsibility; and (4) the subjugation of “going concerns” by overriding concerns. The authors argue that t…
Generalizing Across Borders
This essay is a critique of the scientific and policy rationales for transnational standardization. It analyzes two examples of policy export: early childhood standards in one of North America's oldest Indigenous communities and the ongoing development of international standards for university teaching. It examines calls for American education to look to Finland, Canada, and Singapore for models of reform and innovation, focusing on the complex h…
Comprehension as Social and Intellectual Practice
This article reframes the concept of comprehension as a social and intellectual practice. It reviews current approaches to reading instruction for linguistically and culturally diverse, indigenous and low socioeconomic students (SES), noting an emphasis on comprehension as autonomous skills. The four resources model (Freebody & Luke, 1990) is used to make the case for integrating comprehension instruction with an emphasis on student cultural and …

It provided a richly detailed qualitative description of differential, social class–based constructions of knowledge and epistemological stance. This essay situates Anyon’s work in two…
Literacy and Identity
In this review, the authors interrogate the recent identity turn in literacy studies by asking, How do particular views of identity shape how researchers think about literacy and, conversely, how does the view of literacy taken by a researcher shape meanings made about identity? To address this question, the authors review various ways of conceptualizing identity by using five metaphors for identity documented in the identity literature: Identity…

Tesol in the Corporate University
This article is an invited response to discuss the role of theory in the field of teaching of English as a Second Language and the place of TESOL in the contemporary university. It makes the case that TESOL is both an academic field in search of theoretical grounds but that its future is more dependent on its status as a social/institutional field, in Bourdieu's sense, within the corporate, performative university
The language of neofeudal corporatism and the war on Iraq
Beginning from recent critical work on globalisation, many critical scholars have extended the analytic vocabulary of ‘advanced’, ‘fast’ and ‘postmodern’ capitalism to explain the geopolitics of the Iraq War. This article offers a counterclaim: that current geopolitical economy can be more usefully characterised as a form of neofeudal corporatism. Using examples drawn from a 300,000 word corpus of public utterances by three political leaders — Ge…
Globalization, Corporatism, and Critical Language Education
This article explores the impacts of economic and cultural globalization on language and language education. It acknowledges the spread of English and the negative impacts of this upon other languages and language communities. The case is made that new conditions of economic dominance by multinational corporations raise the stakes for schooling and language education. These conditions have established a "new Latin" of technocratic English that se…

Interracial families
This article describes an interview-based case-study of twenty interracial families of mixed Anglo-Australian and Indo-Asian backgrounds. The study draws theoretical models from post-colonial, feminist and critical race theory, raising the issue of how visible racial difference might influence how families define themselves and their everyday experiences in white-dominated societies. The interviews focused on families' narrative accounts of commu…

Beyond Criticism
Research and literature on nature and function of school text, predominantly concern of curriculum developers and educational psychologists, has been narrowly focused on efficient delivery of reading skills and disciplinary knowledge. During 1970s, David R. Olson began to formulate an interdisciplinary research orientation on educational nature and function of textual knowledge (Bruner and Olson, 1977; Olson, 1977a). In On Language and Authority …

Reading Positions and Practices in the Classroom
This article examines the classroom construction of “readings” in school literacy and literature programs. Reviewing contemporary theories and definitions of literacy, it argues for the cultural and historical specificity of reading and writing as families of social practices. School texts and classroom events construct selective traditions of particular versions and displays of reading. An agenda for the reconstruction of school reading as disco…

Militarizing the Body Politic
As militarization of bodies politic continues apace the world over, as military organizations again reveal themselves as primary political, economic and cultural forces in many societies, we argue that the emergent and potentially dominant form of political economic organization is a species of neo-feudal corporatism. Drawing upon Bourdieu, we theorize bodies politic as living habitus. Bodies politic are prepared for war and peace through new med…

Literacies and libraries
As spatial repositories of the selective traditions of dominant and marginalised, residual and emergent cultures, libraries remain key elements in the educational production and reproduction of knowledge and power. As institutions fundamental to the project of modernity, as working shrines for those canonical texts of modernity - the dictionary and the encyclopaedia - libraries are sites par excellence for applications of the new literacies.

Who's/whose at risk? answerability and the critical possibilities of classroom discourse
Our aim in this article is twofold. First, we challenge the essentialized notion of adolescents and young people as perpetually driven to resist the authority of adults. At the same time, we disrupt linguistic conceptions of adolescent discourse, along with the discourse of youth at risk, by analyzing a transcript of classroom discourse that reflects an exchange between a highly regarded and well liked preservice teacher and his students. This re…
Literacy Instruction
This analysis of the alleged literacy crisis examines the historical origins and current consequences of the development of a technology for literacy instruction. Reliance on technocratic skills-based approaches, the authors argue, has resulted, on the one hand, in a gradual deskilling of teachers and, on the other hand, the production in students of a literal, uncritical, and mechanical relation to reading, writing, and the interpretation of tex…

At Last
So much has been made over the crisis in English literature as field, as corpus, and as canon in recent years, that some of it undoubtedly has spilled over into English education. This has been the case in predominantly English-speaking Anglo-American and Commonwealth nations, as well as in those postcolonial states where English remains the medium of instruction and lingua franca of economic and cultural elites. Yet to attribute the pressures fo…
