This Lancaster Literacy Research Centre event will be a talk from Jayne Lammers on 'Global Meaning Making in Action: Learning from Digital Literacies of Indonesian Youth'

Abstract: In this talk, Dr. Jayne Lammers (University of Rochester, NY, USA) shares from her experience of conducting research in Indonesia with her local partner, Dr. Puji Astuti. In the study, they sought answers to question what are the digital literacy practices of Indonesian secondary students, and collected data through surveys and focus groups with 618 participants from seven secondary schools in Central Java, Indonesia. Using abductive analysis (Tavory & Timmermans, 2014) to engage in systematic defamiliarization and theorizing, they have traced chains of meaning that began with surprises in their data. Positioning the researchers and participants as global meaning makers (Tierney, 2018), Lammers will explore both the enactment of the collaboration and the lessons learned from the youth.
