Event Details
Lancaster Literacy Research Centre are delighted to welcome Sam Duncan, UCL, to our first event of 2021 to launch 'Oral Literacies' (2021)
The first Lancaster Literacy Research Centre event for 2021 will be a book launch for Dr Sam Duncan's new book 'Oral Literacies: When Adults Read Aloud' (2021), part of the Literacies series published by Routledge, series editors Uta Papen and Julia Gillen.
'Oral Literacies: When Adults Read Aloud abstract':
This is the first book to focus exclusively on an examination of early 21st century reading aloud practices. The dominant contemporary image of reading in much of the world is that of a silent, solitary activity. This book challenges this dominant discourse, acknowledging the diversity of reading practices (on and offline) that adults perform or experience. Key reading for advanced students, researchers and scholars of literacy practices and literacy education within Education, Applied linguistics and related areas .
