Seven of my incredible students, all of whom are student teaching, have an awesome article in ILA's Literacy Today magazine this month. Check out their reflections on disciplinary literacies and social justice. #literacies @ilatoday.bsky.social Read the full issue here: tinyurl.com/2nptpj3n
Check out this amazing article by doctoral candidate Tempestt Johnson about the literacy practices of majorette dancers in marching bands! See how majorette dance is disciplinary literacy and liberation. In ILA's Literacy Today magazine this month. #literacies @ilatoday.bsky.social
A quote that reads: "To solve the complex problems facing the world today, society needs diverse ways of constructing knowledge. Disciplinary literacies need to value all communities that create knowledge."

Opening page of the article "Disciplinary literacies need more joy: Shenanigans and the aesthetics of humor in a playful literary community." in the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy
Excited to share that @karismjones.bsky.social and I just had this fun article published about people doing playful literary analyses of the novel Dracula. Wait, a Gothic novel from 1897 can be humorous today? Yep. Some real shenanigans going on here! #literacies DM me for a copy if you need access.
This may be of interest to #literacies.
Thrilled to share this new pub! In this article, my brilliant coauthors and I explore a framework for narrative activity in a variety of texts. It’s open access- please read, share, and tell me what you think! doi.org/10.1002/rrq....
Thank you everyone for such an exciting #literacies chat tonight!! If you are headed to NCTE in Denver this week, we would love to connect with you there to continue the conversation!

A6: I’m thinking about what it would look like to bring pre-service teachers to fandom-focused literacy classrooms. College and high school students collaboratively investigating, analyzing, and writing about fandoms together could be a next frontier to explore! #literacies
Yaasss!! I soooo agree.
YES! NCTE is gonna be Lit!
Omg, Muñoz is so great! I cite his work all the time! Let's make a Muñoz fan group at conferences this year! #literacies
A5: Classrooms can easily feel like “doing school” with a focus on compliance. Instead, support students to follow their intellectual passions! Give choice about what texts to read, work to produce, and questions to pursue. I’ve seen this work in diverse and inclusive public schools! #literacies
I agree! Speculative approaches help people see what could be. And move beyond what Muñoz calls "the quagmire of the present" ---swoon!
A4: This shift creates a more student-centered community. Instead of teachers spending time preparing lectures and worksheets, they facilitate a community where students use literacy to pursue intellectual interests, analyze a wide range of texts, and construct new knowledge together. #literacies
Love this!
A3: Our book is about the high school class we designed where youth study fandoms—including franchises they love and texts fans produce. Our students used critical literacies to transform fandom spaces—for example, posting critiques of fandoms that relied on oppressive jokes. #literacies
Yaasss!! So true!
What a fun list!!!
A2: I’m a Dungeons & Dragons fan, but I wasn’t one until my high school students taught me how to play! I got to see how D&D can be used to imagine socially just worlds free from hate. My students helped show me the power of words and story to work to change the fabric of our realities. #literacies

Greetings Literacies Chat! I’m Scott Storm (he/him). I taught high school English for 15 years in urban public schools—including one I helped to found! I’m now an assistant professor of literacy in the School of Education at the University at Albany, SUNY. All opinions my own. #literacies
