Literacy Education for a New Ethics of Global Community
In this short paper, Allan Luke explores the role of literacy educators in using multimediated texts as a means of building bridges between personal, localised worlds and global communities.

Two Takes on the Critical
In this paper, Allan Luke explores the interplay between critique and lived experience. He warns us against staying in the comfot zone of "the critical" where we avoid getting our hands dirty and achieve little in terms of social justice.

Curriculum, Ethics, Metanarrative: Teaching and Learning Beyond the Nation
Allan Luke states that we have lost "a powerful, shared normative vision about what education can and should be". He argues for the creation of a grand narrative in curriculum making and schooling in order to meet the needs of the emergent forms of identity, work, economy, cultures and institutional life.

Reading, Homes and Families: From Postmodern to Modern?
Victoria Carrington and Allan Luke state that "new family formations, new literacies and technologies are volatile and potentially disruptive of longstanding ‘rules of the game’ for literacy teaching and learning". They argue that educators need to re-think the way they understand the links between home and school literacies.

Globalisation, Literacy, Curriculum Practice
Allan Luke and Victoria Carrington discuss how we might construct a literacy education that addresses new economic and cultural formations. They argue that we need to move away from limiting debates over basic skills and commodified methods into a much broader debate about literacy education as a sustainable and powerful curriculum practice.
