Lancaster Literacy Research Centre are delighted to welcome Sam Duncan, UCL, to our first event of 2021 to launch 'Oral Literacies' (2021) .

About this event

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 .

Event schedule:

11:00 - Welcomes & introductions (please enter the meeting with your 'real' name as your display name, and your camera switched on, to allow us to all put faces to each others' names)

11:05 - Presentation from Sam Duncan (please turn your camera off and mute your microphone during the presentation)

11:40 - Discussion (please use the raise hand feature on Teams to indicate you would like to have a turn speaking and once asked to speak by an event facilitator, please un-mute your microphone and turn your camera on)

Presenter bio:

Dr Duncan is an adult literacy teacher, teacher educator, and researcher with particular interests in reading development, community education, reading circles and the roles of cinema, literature, and poetry in language learning. Dr Duncan is also interested in teacher education, informal literacy learning across the life-course and when we might choose to read something aloud rather than in silence.
