Expanding Literacy Studies, the first international, interdisciplinary conference on literacy studies organized and hosted by graduate students, will be held at The Ohio State University on April 3-5, 2009.

Please join faculty and students from Ohio State and nine other major universities for this international, interdisciplinary conference for graduate students. The theme—Expanding Literacy Studies—draws from the larger conversation on literacy and literacy studies, the many myths of literacy, and the growing number of new and emergent literacies.

The conference aims to extend the dialogue, explore the landscape, and map the intersections of literacy studies as a framework for our continued critical investigation of literacy. This approach is meant to expand the field and critique the expansion.
