[Xmca-l] LiCS special issue now live - Against Autonomous Literacies: Extending the Work of Brian V. Street

[Turnipseed, Nicole]

Dear colleagues - I hope this message finds you and yours safe and healthy!

I write to announce the open-source publication of the special issue<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://licsjournal.org/index.php/LiCS/issue/view/62__;!!Mih3wA!QPWOuKNf_KSG8BpjKqdt8ZhQY4U95T2HxCbwG0DMFMSFN9uz0lrjsdrcWLn5u7w$ > of Literacy in Composition Studies, "Against Autonomous Literacies: Extending the Work of Brian V. Street," guest edited by Antonio Byrd, Jordan Hayes, and myself (Nicole Turnipseed). Brian Street, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 73, was a member of the LiCS editorial board from its inception and contributed to the journal's inaugural issue. Street is well-known for his foundational work in New Literacy Studies and his interdisciplinary work across the fields of literacy studies, anthropology, ethnography, and education. Our fields, and LiCS specifically, continue to be impacted significantly not just by Street's work, but by the ways his work continue to be reimagined and extended to meet new challenges. We hope the contents of this issue honor not just Street's impact across fields, but the ways our endeavors to know and do better are collaborative and ongoing.

We invite readers to take up the questions and challenges raised in this issue in short submissions to the Symposium section<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://licsjournal.org/index.php/LiCS/about/submissions__;!!Mih3wA!QPWOuKNf_KSG8BpjKqdt8ZhQY4U95T2HxCbwG0DMFMSFN9uz0lrjsdrc-66n1q8$ > of LiCS's upcoming issues.
