Description: This course will investigate literacy from a sociocultural and linguistic perspective. Students will be defining and operationalizing the term "literacy" and striving to understand the various types of literacy that currently exist in American society. Furthermore, students will study how being adept in various literacies define group membership and serve as a gateway of access to various levels of American social stratification. Furthermore, beginning with pre-school aged children, students will investigate how literacy and the value of literacy is transmitted culturally and how that transmission weighs heavily on future involvement in literacy events.
