Literacy Research Spotlight 💡

✨JLR Article Spotlight✨ In JLRs most recent issue, Dr. Ankhi Thakurta explores how Indonesian American girls in a virtual critical literacy community used writing and composing to address social inequities and navigate oppression within racist, sexist, and anti-Asian public spaces. Focusing on three girls, the study examines their “civic compositional literacies,” or the ways they used creative and critical composing to shape civic identities and respond to issues affecting their transnational lives. The findings highlight how critical literacy education can support Asian American girls in using literacy as a form of activism, theorization, and social change.
