A6: I agree! I imagine classrooms where every learner’s language, identity, and creative expression are valued as part of meaning-making.
Our task is to enact that future now through scholarship, pedagogy, and community that foreground connection over compliance. #literacies

A6: For this question, I return to the Bell quote that @anna-phd.bsky.social and @esp-phd.bsky.social evoked to start the chat: "We exist only in relation." In this moment, those relations are vital to our survival. I look forward to a continued #literacies community that exists far into the future.

A3: #literacies has connected me with educators who remind me that literacy is collective work. These dialogues have shaped my teaching, mentorship, and collaborations across classrooms and communities.

A1. Fall of 2011, I tweeted something about new literacies and @anna-phd.bsky.social responded. And a friendship and the #literacies chat was born! We ran the chat for years before we ever met in person!
