Our programs in Literacy Education engage teachers and other professional educators in the study of rich language and literacy practices from early childhood through adolescence and adulthood. Literacy studies have expanded dramatically in recent years and our internationally known Faculty draw on many disciplines that inform the study of language and literacy education, including cognitive, linguistic, anthropological, cultural, literary, critical and post-structural perspectives.
The program faculty have expertise in: Indigenous languages and literacies, children’s literature and cultural texts, drama and theatre education, literary and literacy practices in families, schools, and communities, and digital cultures, multimodality, and communication ecologies/studies.
