This course, Literacy, social justice, and inclusive practice, explores some of the tensions and debates linked to the aim of achieving literacy for all, using specific examples. It focuses on current significant debates related to the teaching of the technical aspects of literacy to a ‘sufficient standard’ and debates related to becoming a ‘literate person’. In particular, it looks at the way these debates and their implicit conceptualizations of literacy have the potential to both enhance and limit literacy engagement and learners’ participation in the world.
