The role of the writer

is not to say what we can all say,

but what we are unable to say.

writing for Literacies: an overview

Literacies is where the education community shares ideas and experiences about how research and practice connect and how each informs the other. Our goal is to cross fences and unite the range of fields and disciplines that touch literacy. By communicating and documenting individual scholarship and experiences, Literacies advances a collective understanding of literacy work, promotes the exchange of ideas with policy-makers and theorists, and builds and strengthens the community.

Literacies encourages and supports writers from a diversity of experiences and backgrounds as they create an inclusive dialogue. Our objective is to cultivate and develop writership among adult education workers.

Literacies was created as a forum for thinking on literacy. We welcome contributions that build connections between adult literacy research and practice. These links can be made in various ways, including

  • informal reflections and discussions delving into or illuminating one aspect of practice;
  • reading research and reflecting on its applications to practice;
  • asking questions about practice which could lead to further inquiry, reflection and research; and
  • conducting research about practice and sharing the results.

Literacies welcomes contributions that

  • represent the wide range of research and reflection about adult literacy that is being carried out in various contexts;
  • encourage discussion, reflection and research about how adults develop and use reading and writing; and
  • encourage critical reflection about literacy practice and research.

Contributions should relate to the vision and intentions of Literacies. They should address the topic, question or issue in a manner relevant to the audience for this journal. Our readers include people interested in adult literacy research and practice. They may have one or more roles including teaching, research, professional development, consulting, networking, or policy development. They may work in other fields that connect in some way to adult literacy.
