Hi Friends! Here's where you can find me during #AERA26. It's around the corner!
I really miss having a social media space where I can just come on & say that I am struggling with acknowledging my own humanity & limits of my capacity, particularly right now as I'm struggling with health stuff. So, putting it out here.
Starting soon! We’re far back in the Convention Center. Follow the KPop to Room 703!

On my way! Seeing scholastic bags & hearing people talk about conference presentations. Clearly I’m not the only one on this flight headed to #NCTE2025.
Love this! So excited and thank you for tagging me! 💜
Join us for our December slow chat! This will be an informal #literacies touchpoint before the start of the holidays. Let's continue the conversation!

Hi Friends! If you'll be at #NCTE2025, come find me in one of these sessions. On Saturday morning, if you come to our session, you'll also get to see one of my favorite 10 year olds.
I do completely understand 💜but my belief that meaning making is all #literacies helps me battle the imposter syndrome of researching teachers as literacy work. Hugs, friend! You’re doing incredible work!
You are the OG #transnational #literacies scholar, my friend!
It’s good to see I’m in such good company but I see you as a #literacies scholar! 😅
Yes! Love this! Or, what #literacies questions have been living rent free in your head? 😂🤣
I do love the idea of an accessible multimodal common text but honestly, don’t plan #literacies book chats around me. My life can be chaotic of late 😅
Grateful for your friendship! 💜Miss you & glad to see you in the #literacies space, Friend! It’s been too long!
Yes! Transnational #literacies FTW! 🙌💜
Awww 💜and I’m so grateful I got to know you and your work through this #literacies space 💜💜💜
A6. I love this question too & have been missing so much community. So a #literacies grounded community feels like a beautiful future to live into. It’s been nice to see friends in the space, even if my engagement isn’t what it once was w/ mama duties 💜
A5.2 Oh and also opportunities for cross-generational #literacies chats, to support grad students & junior faculty! 💜
A5. I’d love to do some collective thinking around #literacies in community building, advocacy and supporting identity development (of course I would 😂) and I love the IDEA of a book club although #lowbandwidth 😅
A2: Something I think #literacies chats do in conversation with thoughtful guest scholars is present asset based lenses for many types of learners - once you learn to see the deficit lenses here, it’s easier to spot them in research 🧐
What a great question! I really miss chatting in general & would love to figure out a way to work #literacies and other chats back into a part of my digital life. I don’t have a real answer but I think that low demand chat topics that can engage a broad audience are important.
A3. #Literacies has been such a professional home for me. Too many connections to count but grateful for them all. It feels like a gentle hug & reminder that I’m still a literacies scholar even when my work focuses beyond literacies.
Congratulations! Welcome to the club! 💜
A1. I can’t remember! 😅(I think that means I’m old, but def participated lots as a junior faculty member & have co-hosted. Love #literacies & virtual chats as spaces to connect and build community 💜

Hey #literacies fam, it’s Betina checking in from Coast Salish lands (Seattle specifically). I’m a prof or teacher education & will be in & out bc I’m also a #mamascholar doing pick up right now.
