Stories from Inequity to Justice in Literacy Education: Confronting Digital Divides. Routledge Research in Education
Morrell, Ernest, Ed.; Rowsell, Jennifer, Ed.
Routledge Research in Education
Challenging the assumption that access to technology is pervasive and globally balanced, this book explores the real and potential limitations placed on young people's literacy education by their limited access to technology and digital resources. Drawing on research studies from around the globe, "Stories from Inequity to Justice in Literacy Education" identifies social, economic, racial, political and geographical factors which can limit populations' access to technology, and outlines the negative impact this can have on literacy attainment. Reflecting macro, meso and micro inequities, chapters highlight complex issues surrounding the productive use of technology and the mobilization of multimodal texts for academic performance and illustrate how digital divides might be remedied to resolve inequities in learning environments and beyond. Contesting the digital divides which are implicitly embedded in aspects of everyday life and learning, this text will be of great interest to researchers and post-graduate academics in the field of literacy education. This book contains the following chapters: (1) Introduction: Moving stories of inequity to stories of justice (Jennifer Rowsell and Ernest Morrell); (2) Searching for mermaids: Access, capital and the digital divide in a rural South African Primary School (Kerryn Dixon); (3) Divided digital practices: A story from Indigenous Australia (Inge Kral); (4) Storylines: Young people playing into change in agricultural colleges in Rural Ethiopia to address sexual and gender based violence (Hani Sadati); (5) Reframing the digital in literacy: Youth, arts, and misperceptions (Mia Perry, Diane R. Collier, and Jennifer Rowsell); (6) The potential of participatory literacies to challenge digital (civic) divides (Nicole Mirra and Antero Garcia); (7) Youth people's media use and social participation in Hong Kong: A perspective of digital use divide (Alice Y. L. Lee and Klavier J. Wang); (8) From mothballed to meaningfully-used technology in Urban Catholic Schools (Nate Wills); (9) Social class, literacies, and digital wastelands: Technological artifacts in a network of relations (Stephanie Jones and Jaye Johnson Thiel); (10) Values, neoliberalism, and the digital divide: Nonwhite media makers and the production of meaning (Zithri Saleem and Negin Dahya); and (11) Making it work in the Global South: Stories of digital divides in a Brazilian context (Cristiane Manzan Perine and Jennifer Rowsell).
