Bird by Bird: Finding Human Connections in Digital Literacy
10th April 2024, 17:30 pm
Lecture Theatre 7, The Diamond, The University of Sheffield, 32 Leavygreave Road, Sheffield S3 7RD
Bird by bird is a metaphor that refers to a steady movement toward a goal. Anne Lamott devised it to describe the writing process. For this Inaugural Lecture, I apply the metaphor to my career as a literacy researcher conducting ethnographies of multimodal and digital literacy learning in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. I shine a particular light on new research that explores post-digital literacy to find human connections in a world increasingly encroached by machines.
The lecture will also be live streamed via Encore, here is the link to watch the lecture remotely.
