The Literacy Studies Working Group is fostering a critical, cross-campus conversation and investigation into the nature of literacy, bringing historical, contextual, comparative, and critical perspectives and modes of understanding together to stimulate new institutional and intellectual relationships. The Group aims to promote collaboration among different disciplinary clusters and their constituents, from the social and natural sciences to the arts and humanities, medicine, and law.
