Join us for next week’s chat on #literacies Summer Kickoff: Celebrating this Year and Looking Ahead”!

Pass this on to a #literacies recent grad!

As we debate the future of tech in schools, let's continue to both center the experiences and wisdom of youth as well as invite youth to shape tech policies. Listen to students - like those in the article - when they challenge surveillance, digital redlining, and the open embrace of GenAI products.

This chapter by Shaobo Xie (2000)'s my origin story. "If children's literature & the criticism of children's literature take upon themselves to decolonize the world, they will prove to be the most effective postcolonial project in the long run, for the world always ultimately belongs to children."

Hot off the press with JLR, we follow three 🔥 🔥 🔥 girls at anime and comic conventions. Yes this is the youth-collected Comic Con video data we’ve all been waiting for 😬🔥😎 So glad this joyful piece is out in the world and we’re happy to share it with you all! doi.org/10.1177/1086...

I love @charleswlogan.bsky.social’s suggestions of activities that can help educators and their students attend to the language of educational technology!

Teach like a Luddite! In which I join @philnichols.bsky.social and @anterobot.bsky.social to argue for a Luddite praxis in education grounded in three elements: embracing strategic playfulness; developing localized tactics; and building networks of resistance. Read the article at Kappan:

When @danhf.bsky.social shared with me his idea for a special issue on The Dark Fantastic, I was surprised, honored & (truly) shy about it all. My dear colleagues @srtoliver.bsky.social & @autumnadia.bsky.social have curated an incredible issue here. Grateful to SR, Autumn, Dan, Gerry & SFFTV! 🖤✨🎬

#literacies folks, my institution is hiring for Fall 2026. Share widely. Very much an early reading position focused on STR/SoR. We're a very small program and teaching focused. Happy to connect before I'm told I'm on the hiring committee and HR tells me I can't talk to anyone.

We have to do a better job supporting teachers at work following a miscarriage. For more on the layered pressures they face, see this article in AERA Open, "The Influence of Policies and Professional Expectations on Teachers' Leave Decisions and Well-Being ..." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
