Idalia Nuñez, associate professor Curriculum & Instruction, has published a book that explores literacy practices and theories.
She is one of five editors of Theories, Models, and Practices of Literacy, the eighth edition of a foundational text in literacy research. This edition has been reworked to include diverse perspectives and updated to include more modern theories and scholarship.
From Routledge: “This volume addresses theories across ten sections, including early, youth, and community literacies; teaching literacy and literacy teacher education; dis/abilities and disciplinary literacy theories; digital and multimodal literacies; and the disruption of colonial boundaries in language and global literacies. The chapters in this volume are curated to inspire the interrogation of literacy theory and foster its evolution.”
