Literacy Activism in Public Spaces: Partnerships with Community Publishing and Arts

This roundtable will feature literacy project partnerships between academic units and community-based organizations, exploring the politics of access, skill, diversity, and circulation. Panelists will represent cities ranging from Philadelphia, Chicago, and Boston to Glasgow, Salt Lake City and Fort Collins, CO. They will share experiences and imagine a global coalition of local activists committed to challenging how and why some communities struggle
to gain public recognition for their literacies.
