Dr. Bonny Norton<http://globalconversationsinliteracy.wordpress.com/2012-2013-web-seminars/bonny-norton-march-17-2013/>, University of British Columbia, Canada; "Identity, Investment, and Multilingual Literacy"; March 10, 2013; 7:00 p.m. USA (New York Time Zone)

In this web seminar, Dr. Norton traces the trajectory of her research on identity, literacy, and English-language teaching informed by theories of investment and imagined communities. Dr. Norton argues that if learners have a sense of ownership over meaning-making, they will have enhanced identities as learners and participate more actively in literacy practice. This will help students develop the capacity for imagining a wider range of identities across time and space.

In his web seminar, Dr. Shannon will examine reading as agency-why reading critically is essential to civic engagement and a healthy democracy. "Wide-awake reading" must be done across a range of texts, including documents associated with national curriculum mandates.
