Literacy and place

Curricular Justice

Curricular Justice in the curriculum design should consider:
1. The interests of the least advantaged.
2. Participation and common schooling.
3. The historical production of inequality.

Critical literacy from curricular justice involves:
1. Repositioning ss' as researchers of language.
2. Respecting ss' resistance and exploring minority culture constructions of literacy.
3. Problematizing classroom and public texts.
.

The classroom is constituted as a meeting place with the potential for something new to be negotiated and produced. It becomes a site of collective making about the local area, which is undergoing change.
