Literacies: Researching Practice and Practising Research “is a national forum that
includes university-based researchers, program-based researchers, policy-makers and
program workers. Its goal is to cross fences and unite the range of fields and disciplines
that touch literacy. It provides a medium for a range of inquiries including analysis,
discussions, debates, reflections and creative work in all aspects of research and practice
in education. Literacies’ objective is to promote writing about research in practice in
Canada and to cultivate and develop writership among literacy and adult education
workers.”
