Researching Protest Literacies

Julia Gillen

Lancaster Literacy Research Centre are delighted to welcome Jamie Duncan to discuss Researching Protest Literacies.

This Lancaster Literacy Research Centre event will be a talk from Jamie Duncan, titled Researching Protest Literacies. Abstract: How should historic periods of social protest underway whilst researchers are doing fieldwork be researched? In this talk for Lancaster Literacy Research Centre, I describe the ethnographic and historical approach that I adopted whilst researching one such moment in Brazil from 2013-2014. In doing so, I discuss material from my recently published book, Researching Protest Literacies: Literacy as Protest in the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Combining concepts from the New Literacy Studies, Social Movement Studies, and related areas, the talk and book it draws from focuses on how research on protesting, literacies, trajectories, and technologies can be brought together, linking situated accounts of events and practices, with localised perspectives on broader streams and cycles of contentious politics. Event schedule: 13:00pm - Welcomes &amp; 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) 13:05 - Presentation from Speaker Name(s) (please turn your camera off and mute your microphone during the presentation) 13:40 - 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: Jamie Duncan completed his PhD at Lancaster Literacy Research Center, Lancaster University, UK. His academic research is based on ethnographic approaches from the New Literacy Studies and his professional background includes work in the UK and Brazil across the fields of social housing, adult education, and applied linguistics.
