Innovaciones y Historias: A Home- and Community-Based Approach to Workplace Literacy
Remigio Ortega, Guadalupe; Guzman Gomez, Alfonso; Marotta, Calley
Community Literacy Journal, v16 n2 Article 31 p22-46 Spr 2022
Drawing from Latinx studies and the literacy experiences of men employed as university custodial staff, we propose a home- and community-based approach to workplace literacy. The central goals of this approach are to allow participants to identify their professional and vocational literacies to highlight their literate assets and goals across contexts. The approach offers a humanizing lens for individuals who are often denied the opportunity to showcase their literate repertoires and desires within the context of their formal workplaces. Overall, this article calls for a broader understanding of participants' literacy experiences--not only as workers but as people who work.
