This manual pertains to the Community Literacy Journal, Volume 8.2, published in Spring 2014. This edition delves into the multifaceted domain of community literacy, exploring its presence and practice beyond formal educational and work institutions. It encompasses a wide array of programs, from adult education and early childhood initiatives to lifelong learning and work with marginalized populations, as well as informal projects. The journal defines literacy broadly, focusing not only on content and knowledge but also on the symbolic means of representation and usage, extending beyond traditional text to include multimodal and technological forms. It publishes research that advances the field's methodologies and research agendas.
The purpose of this manual is to provide access to the scholarly articles and reviews featured in the Spring 2014 issue of the Community Literacy Journal. It covers critical analyses of service-learning and food literacy, explorations of life writing workshops with incarcerated individuals and college students, and examinations of community literacy pedagogies. Additionally, it includes research on adult literacy programs through community engagement, historical perspectives on oral and textual literacies, and investigations into scientific literacy across multicultural communities. The manual also features reviews of significant books and new media related to cultural practices of literacy, local literacies, and literacy in the digital age.
COMMUNITY LITERACY JOURNAL 8.2 (Spring, 2014) | The journal understands "community literacy" as the domain for literacy work that exists outside of mainstream educational and work institutions. It can be found in programs devoted to adult education, early childhood education, reading initiatives, lifelong learning, workplace literacy, or work with marginalized populations, but it can also be found in more informal, ad hoc projects. For COMMUNITY LITERACY JOURNAL, literacy is defined as the realm where attention is paid not just to content or to knowledge but to the symbolic means by which it is represented and used. Thus, literacy makes reference not just to letters and to text but to other multimodal and technological representations as well. We publish work that contributes to the field's emerging methodologies and research agendas. CONTENTS: ARTICLES: "Reframing the Argument: Critical Service-Learning and Community-Centered Food Literacy" by Veronica House | "Assembling for Agency: Prisoners and College Students in a Life Writing Workshop" by David Coogan | "'Socializing Democracy': The Community Literacy Pedagogy of Jane Addams" by Rachael Wendler | "Investigating Adult Literacy Programs through Community Engagement Research: A Case Study" by Jaclyn M.
