The editors of Literacy in Composition Studies invite submissions for its early issues. Literacy in Composition Studies is a refereed open-access online journal that sponsors scholarship on literacy at this time of radical transformation in its contexts and circulation. We are especially interested in work that:
• provides provisional frameworks for theorizing literacy activities
• analyzes how literacy practices construct student, community, and other identities
• investigates the ways in which social, political, economic, linguistic, and technological transformations produce, eliminate, or mediate literacy opportunities
• analyzes the processes and power relations whereby literacies are valued or circulated
• adds new or challenges existing knowledge to literacy’s history
• examines the literacies sponsored through college writing courses and curricula, including the range of literate activities, practices, and pedagogies that shape and inform, enable and constrain writing
• considers the implications of institutional, state, or national policies on literacy learning and teaching, including the articulation of high schools and higher education
• proposes or creates opportunities for new interactions between Literacy and Composition Studies, especially those drawing on transnational, multilingual, and cross-cultural literacy research
We welcome all submissions and queries at licsjournal@gmail.com. Manuscripts (up to 10,000 words) should demonstrate awareness of relevant scholarship in both Literacy and Composition Studies and document sources according to MLA style (7th ed.).
