Critical Literacy for Social Change

Catalog description

This interdisciplinary course explores theories and applications of critical literacy for social transformation. How does reading the world precede reading the word? In reading the world, how do we go forward in writing it or rewriting it to transform the world? This course will focus on issues of power and perspective in literacy across all contexts. In reading with and against multimodal texts for social change, students will examine issues of diversity and equity in educational and community contexts.
