RaPAL Journal - Conference Edition 2010
Call for articles
The theme of this year’s conference edition of the journal is:
Multiliteracies: changing literacies, changing worlds
It is a decade since the New London Group used the term Multiliteracies in their groundbreaking volume of the same name (Cope and Kalantzis, 2000) to describe the diverse linguistic forms and multimodal media we now employ to communicate with each other.
At the 2010 RaPAL conference, held at the University of Greenwich in London in July, we explored how literacies and languages interrelate in the context of our linguistically and culturally diverse society. We debated questions such as:
- What is the power of different literacies to change lives and worlds in local and global contexts?
- Within the field of adult literacy, how do new technologies and new literacies offer opportunities for critical engagement and learning?
In addition to reports from the conference, we would be interested in receiving articles on the theme of Multiliteracies. A range of contributions will be considered, including:
- short descriptive, reflective pieces (maximum 1000 words)
- longer articles which include reflection and critique (1000-2000 words)
- more sustained analytical pieces for peer review, on research, practice or policy (up to 4000 words); these articles will have refereed journal status
We welcome contributions from both new and experienced writers.
Please send submissions by 10th October to Nora Hughes at nora.hughes@gmail.com
