Acting With Inscriptions: Expanding Perspectives Of Writing, Learning, And Becoming, Kevin R. Roozen
The Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning
This article argues for increased attention to people’s engagements with inscriptions and inscriptional practices and the long-term implications they have for the ongoing production of persons, practices, and social worlds across heterogeneous times, places, and activities.

If, as Paul Prior asserts, “ literate activity is not located in acts of reading and writing but …

Feminist Scholarly Communities Have Been A Lifeline During The Pandemic, Karen Griscom
ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830
I teach writing and literature at a community college, and I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate.
