Mary Kalantzis, professor Education Policy, Organization & Leadership, is part of a group that was recently awarded funding from the Spencer Foundation.
The group was awarded $498,533 in funding for their research project, Fostering Translingual, Disciplinary Literacy Development Through Generative AI in U.S. Middle and High Schools. The project will run through March of 2029.
The initiative explores the empowering and transformative potential of Generative AI to support translingual, Latinx students’ disciplinary literacy in U.S. middle and high schools, grounded in the “lived civics” framework.
Kalantzis is collaborating with Kris D. Gutiérrez, a professor, and Gabriella C. Zapata, an associate professor, both of the University of Nottingham, and with John W. Jones, an assistant professor at the State University of New York-Cortland.
