The Diverse Faces of Critical Literacy: Only Knowledge or Social Action?
Hunsberger, Margaret; Bailey, Penelope; Hayden, K. Alix
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v44 n2 p120-34 Sum 1998
Within a university course, a professor and two graduate students explored societal and individual implications of literacy in general and of information and scientific literacies: conceptualizations (or ideologies) of specialized literacies in society, injustices caused by a narrow view of literacy perpetuated by dominant groups, literacy as basis of social action, and related responsibilities of educators. Contains 26 references. (SV)
