As the school year completes another circle around the sun and Teaching Fiercely has its first birthday, I find myself in a space of critical reflection. I don’t, necessarily, feel a sense of relief. For me, one of the most beautiful
I am not the first person to grapple with this question, which is a very big question that can have different legitimate answers. However, as someone whose PhD lit review attempted to distinguish a…
What is Code-Meshing? || Oregon State Guide to Grammar
Code-meshing considers all dialectal choices as inherently equal and doesn’t assume one is more “standard.” It attempts to cultivate spaces where there is no right or wrong use of language. Instead, it promotes the idea that language is complex and that its variations can coexist, in all forms, in any context. And in practice, code-meshing can result in extremely powerful and engaging speech and writing. We see it from creative and academic writers like James Kelman, Vershawn Ashanti Young, and Gloria Anzaldùa, but also in less formal writing and speaking.
Rebecca Hinze-Pifer plays an integral research role as part of an influential consortium that has just turned out critical studies on school-based police and the educational impact of living in proximity to violence.

Dr. Karis Jones Talks Literacies, Equity, & Acafandoms - Conceptually Speaking
Picture this: A group of passionate fans is huddled around their devices. Their favorite outlet has just dropped the latest response to a hotly contested article that has divided their community. As the group reads through, they debate, discuss, inquire, and post in their chosen social network. They make reference to other similar works, cite compelling evidence, and have different perspectives on the future direction of their community. Now, what kind of community did you have in mind during this scene? Were you imagining a group of teens debating the latest controversy from The Real Housewives or Keeping Up With the Kardashians? Or what about a group of literary scholars discussing a new interpretation that challenges the consensus on a canonical texts? What if it was referring to both? That might surprise you, but it’s an overlap that’s incredibly familiar to our guest this week—Assistant Professor of ELA Education and SUNY Empire State College, Dr. Karis Jones. Dr. Jones is a self-styled acafan activist studying the interpretive and discursive practices that happen in fandom spaces. Like me, she believes this broadening of how we conceptualize literacy can have transformative implications for how we frame and teach the discipline. So, whether you’re a literary scholar, Marvel Movie fan, or K-Pop enthusiast, this episode has much to offer. Enjoy! Follow Karis on TwitterCheck out her website here

Our work is grounded in syncretic theories of development that promote the expansive forms of learning that occur when youth put everyday and school-based contexts and practices in conversation with one another (Gutiérrez, 2014).
