Webinar Overview<\/strong>
Literacy mediation first emerged several decades ago\u00a0as a result of socio-cultural research which\u00a0identified that very few reading and writing tasks are undertaken by people in isolation. Rather, most are distributed across participants and emerge as a result of the everyday demands of life and work. Most people with low literacy are surrounded by friends, neighbours, workmates and confidantes and they lean into these networks to survive in increasingly textually dense and technologically complex\u00a0environments. In this webinar, Sally Thompson will discuss recently completed ethnographic research about literacy meditation\u00a0and the role of literacy mediators. Her research\u00a0identifies the central role of community\u00a0based organisations in providing literacy mediation for people with low literacy whose communities are made up of other non-readers. She will argue the case for an ‘ecology’ of literacy pedagogies in order to allow people with low literacy to pursue lives of dignity and autonomy.<\/p>\n
