A4: I'd like to see the #literacies chat expand beyond our once a month conversations. Our team really enjoys putting the chats together, and it would be great to find ways to sustain the momentum generated within these conversations.

New publication 🎉🎉. In this piece, I explore how six teenage boys coauthored imaginative worlds together through RPG play. In particular, I examine innovative moments of “liminal play” when the game, rules, and real-world blurred together. Read more here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
