Welcome to the Writing & Literacies SIG!

Welcome to the Writing and Literacies SIG. We are one of AERA's largest special interest groups. Our聽SIG welcomes聽a diverse group of scholars working聽across disciplines and methodologies to do expansive scholarly work relating to topics of writing and literacies across formal and informal聽educational spaces. Resisting research that takes聽a deficit perspective on learners' literacy, we collectively聽work聽to move the聽field toward聽justice and聽better futures for all learners.

There are many ways to get involved, learn in community, and share your work. Check out some of the opportunities listed below. We are proud to support a strong聽Graduate Student Board who host monthly聽Bluesky chats on current topics in the field and facilitate ongoing聽podcast episodes featuring scholars from our SIG.聽

Consider renewing your membership in our SIG! Your investment allows us to continue to聽support graduate student registration and cross-SIG socials for years to come.

All my best,聽Dr. Karis聽Jones
