I do this by exploring how these girls take up certain subject positions through language and action, how their relationships and lived experiences contribute to their various literacies, and how they use those literacies to express agency in and out of school. This research contributes to the field of literacy studies by focusing on how the girls locate themselves , not just how they are positioned by authoritative individuals and discourses; and by theorizing that their ways of knowing and being, even when not tied to reading and writing events, constitute literacy practices, or social world literacies. |
