Sites of Possibility

This volume examines how people engage in critical literacy through their talk and interactions. The book is organised around critical dialogue dialogue that involves identifying and interrogating the often invisible inequitable structures and policies that shape our lives and taking action toward new, more equitable possibilities. Analyses focus on the discursive work of teachers, youth, and adult literacy learners in various contexts questioning and reframing important social issues. The authors illustrate the challenges of facilitating and studying critical dialogue as well as the opportunities it offers for teacher education, professional development, classroom pedagogy, and non-formal education. Bridging theory, method, and practice, Sites of Possibility also addresses important questions regarding the study and practice of transformative education in general and critical dialogue in particular.
