What is Global Conversations in Literacy Research?

Global Conversations in Literacy Research (GCLR) is a series of interactive open access web seminars that feature cutting-edge literacy research conducted by international literacy researchers. GCLR is grounded in critical literacy, and sees as its mission to use networked technologies to connect global audiences in a virtual space that allows participants to exchange ideas on literacy theory, research, and practice. Each year, GCLR features scholars whose work addresses a range of literacy areas of interest to international audiences. GCLR is sponsored, in part, by the National Writing Project. We are proud to say that, to date, we have provided live professional development to over  6000 global audience members, and archived seminars on the GCLR YouTube Channel have been viewed over 28,000 views. This website has recorded over 80,000 views across six continents and 161 countries. We see these numbers as an indicator that GCLR has introduced a significant shift in how professional development can be delivered with impact across audiences and geographic spaces.  Please schedule the 2015-2016 series of seminars into your calendar, add them to your syllabi, share them with organizations interested in literacy, tweet this information to your followers, post on your Facebook pages, and share with others interested in global literacy issues. As a critical literacy project, we invite you to take our GCLR survey after viewing web seminars. Your responses will help us understand the significance of this project, and how we might better serve the global audiences through these web seminars.
