This book asks researchers what uncertainty means for literacy
research, and for how literacy plays through uncertain lives. While
the book is not focused only on COVID-19, it is significant that it
was written in 2020-2021, when our authors’ and readers’
working and personal lives were thrown into disarray by
stay-at-home orders. The book opens up new spaces for examining
ways that literacy has come to matter in the world. Drawing on the
reflections of international literacy researchers and important new
voices, this book presents re-imagined methods and theoretical
imperatives. These difficult times have surfaced new communicative
practices and opened out spaces for exploration and activism,
prompting re-examination of relationships between research,
literacy and social justice. The book considers varied and
consequential events to explore new ways to think and research
literacy and to unsettle what we know and accept as fundamental to
literacy research, opening ourselves up for change. It provides
direction to the field of literacy studies as pressing global
concerns are prompting literacy researchers to re-examine what and
how they research in times of precarity.
